Merge Discussion

As there's no discussion started, let me put in my 2p. Unless the author plans to add significant new content to this article, I don't think it justifies a separate article, and should be merged per the nomination. -- Deadly∀ssassin 02:36, 26 September 2010 (UTC) reply

I didn't think this forking would be particularly controversial. Liquidity preferences in venture capital do not have much to do with liquidity preference in macroeconomics. The two articles are categorized completely differently, and I doubt that anyone looking up one term will be interested in reading about the other. Moreover, any user trying to understand one term will only be confused by the inclusion of the text related to the other. Yes, this article is short, but I don't think that is a reason to tack it on to another article that happens to have the same title. We use disambiguation for a reason.-- Bkwillwm ( talk) 03:06, 26 September 2010 (UTC) reply
I'm taking this stub article at face value, not knowing anything about "liquidity preference" as a term in venture capital. Given that, if the representation here is accurate, then I agree with Bkwillwm that it should be a separate article. It's not the volume of material which deserves a fork, it's that it's really something different. CRETOG8( t/ c) 06:23, 26 September 2010 (UTC) reply

This is an alternative name

This article is describing Liquidation preference which already has a full Wikipedia article. Liquidity preference is an alternative (and less correct) name that is used sometimes. I'm not sure what the right way to handle it is -- should it just be replaced with a link, or is there a way to make an automatic redirect? For now, I'm going to replace the text with a link to Liquidation preference. Dreadengineer ( talk) 03:21, 3 December 2019 (UTC) reply
