The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page as proposed at this time, per the discussion below. If the titling is an issue, it is clear that it does not apply to this page alone, which seems to be
WP:CONSISTENT with similar titles. Upmerging is an editorial decision outside the scope of this close, but of course discussion on that can continue as necessary.

Oppose is there any other type of genetic engineering going on in the US? This isn't a sci-fi story, so without proof of that I would leave the article as-is.ZXCVBNM (

Support, but change to
Genetic food modification in the United States and delete redirect Reading through the article quickly, the article indeed only covers genetic food modification. Per
WP:PRECISE, Usually, titles should be precise enough to unambiguously define the topical scope of the article, but no more precise than that. (bold mine). Genetic engineering in the U.S. exists as a more general topic, but that is not what this article covers.

Keep current name. It is a daughter article of
Genetic engineering in North America and a mother article or
Genetic engineering in Hawaii so the title fits with those. There is no reason the article can't be expanded to include other forms of Genetic engineering, but the fact is that food remains a big part of it and
our policies mean that this should be a large part of any genetic engineering article.
Upmerge to
Genetic engineering in North America. I created these Genetic engineering in [continent] articles following a a discussion at
Talk:Regulation of genetically modified organisms#Requested move 24 April 2017 and this could easily fit there at the moment. To be fair it is probably worth its own page, but it has not received much attention since 2012. This will probably improve both articles and if the content does grow long enough it can be
WP:split out. The user who started this liked to
start lots of small articles, where as I prefer to keep everything reasonably centalised and break of as necessary.
I have neglected these articles recently (I can only really handle these articles in small doses, especially after the ARB case and subsequent RFCs), but will implement whatever is decided here and work to improve the "Genetic engineering in ...." series up to a better standard.

– As discussed in the section above, these articles are clearly just about genetic engineering of crops, and not about any other type of genetic engineering (ie gene therapy, ... ). So the page names should reflect this.

Not sure yet. I had forgotten we had this many articles split up on the topic (a bunch of us just threw our hands up at one point as Aircorn alluded to in a discussion above). About a year ago, we had a
similar move conversation where this suite came up. Most of these deal with the regulation of genetically modified organisms, so my preference would be Regulation of genetically modified organisms in X rather than food, and at a further step attempting to consolidate further into
Regulation of genetic engineering as a main parent article to avoid some coatracking I'm seeing. That being said, keeping these under genetic engineering would make more sense for the eventual merge, but wouldn't really affect it either. The reason for organism instead of food in the title is because these articles are often dealing with the crop end of regulation and not the food end (though sometimes food comes up).
The whole point of splitting these out was to avoid the undue weight in the regulation articles. Merging them back in would just bring us back full circle. The crop/food issue has been a constant problem at these articles (see
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Genetics/GMO articles for an early discussion). Most crops are food, but not all. Most food are crops, but not all. I still don't know the best way to handle the GM crops vs GM food overlap, but feel the solution
I proposed there is decent. I don't think it particularly matters what we title these articles (within reason) as the content can be made to reflect that. My original intention after the split was to use them as kind of holding cells for all the detailed information that eventually ends up in broader articles like the regulation one, but also the controversies, crops, food, animals and other genetic engineering subtopics. But that has not happened and I am more interested in getting the parent articles decent than these ones. These have potential though.
AIRcorn(talk)22:44, 9 April 2018 (UTC)reply
I have some ideas for merging everything together and making it a coherent and decent size article without undue weight, but I just don't have the time right now to draft it all up afterall. Doing "holding cell" forks myself before, I'm iffy about maintaining those long-term, but I'd say now that overall potential merge is better left for another day.

Support in principle. These articles have potential to expand to include genetic engineering in a broader sense, but in their current iterations they fit much better under the proposed change.
AIRcorn(talk)22:48, 9 April 2018 (UTC)reply
Suport as proposed. The article is very clearly and strongly scope-limited to food. “Engineering” is the wrong word because the topic is not about the method of engineering the mutations, but the implications of the result, it is therefore about the genetically modified food. “Genetically engineered food” would be ok. —
