Text and/or other creative content from
this version of
System 001 was copied or moved into
The Ocean Cleanup with
this edit on 14 December 2018. The former page's
history now serves to
provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.
Let's be clear, though: although a merge may be the result of this discussion, the current article was not carved OUT of
The Ocean Cleanup, and that article was not SPLIT to create this one. Ok, having a quick look at
WP:MERGE: there are 4 reasons given to justify possible mergers: duplication, overlap, short text, and context. System 001 is not The Ocean Cleanup (the former is a project, the latter is the non-profit carrying it out); System 001 is not another name for Floating Garbage Collector or something else (i.e., it is not an alternate name for what is essentially the same thing like "flammable" and "inflammable"); neither article is so short that size alone justifies a merge; and System 001 does not require a broader context to be understood (like a minor character in a work of fiction). I understand that both articles seem to address the same basic idea (cleaning the ocean) and are closely related in the real world (one derives from the other), but which of these four reasons would justify the merger in this instance?

You are right, this article started independently, and not as a split. However after it was started, JC7V moved content from
The Ocean Cleanup to this article, that is why I have described is as a split. Considering merge, I would say that all the four reasons apply to some extend, although I mainly see it as duplicate/context. Besides a little research, this is all that TOC does. Consequently, it's article almost only contain info related directly to these systems. If you want to know about the design, design iterations, funding, criticism, ect. of this system, you have to look at that article instead of this. Also, if TOC manages to launch 60 vessels, should there be an article for each of them? ―

Heb the best, I'd be ok with merging it back (all text from System 001 article into the System 001 section of The Ocean Project article). But if there are a lot more Systems released, then at the time we can make a List article that includes all of those systems (and thus we'd move the System 001 section from The Ocean Clean Project article into that list article under the Section 001 section).— Preceding

Merge is a good idea. I found this draft randomly, and then did some work to bring it up to snuff and then JC7V7DC5768 was kind enough to complete the AFC process. It was only after that I discovered
The Ocean Cleanup. It's a bit borderline, the differences, so I am ok with the merge.

Hm. Since we have
Boyan Slat, why should we have
The Ocean Cleanup as a separate article, if the only thing Slat is notable for is the enterprise/ organization? Hint: because they are each of them the independent subject of multiple independent reliable published sources! Also System 002 is already apparently underway....

My goal here is to improve the reader-experience. And by reading this article, the reader will miss the entire context. TOC was established for this project, System 001 is an element of that project. If they did all sorts of things, then yes, they should be different articles, but they don't. I see no benefit lost by making this a section of the TOC article. I am interesting in hearing what you think we will lose by this merge. As for more systems, let's take that when the next one launches. ―
