Society, social class, social structure of Foo country - separate or same topics?[edit]

Merger proposal[edit]

I propose to merge Class society into Social class. The Class society page is an exact duplicate of information found within the Social class page; however, the scope of the Class society page is much narrower. There really is no reason for the Class society page to exist as a separate entity. LegesRomanorum (talk) 16:22, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. I'm starting to wonder why Class society was created; I assume to translate content over from the Swedish Wikipedia page, but the majority of it is based needlessly on specifically Swedish sources and is largely the same information found in Social class. -- Pingumeister^(talk) 19:54, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am against this. A social class can be both subjective(if you are inclined to agree that it can at least) and objective, a class society can't (unless you've taken LSD or something along those lines...). (Sincerely hope you get the joke...) It's also of relevance to the encyclopedic content that both pages exist so that users do not commit a fallacy in thinking that social class is a transhistorical concept etc. Further the effects on the populations are confusing to discuss in a comparative manner if the articles are merged. So basically, sociology, antropology etc on one side, basic general knowledge on the other.

Support merge; setting aside arguments related to LSD ... while I accept that there is a different in the scope of the page titles, the topics are so closely intertwined that they are best discussed in one place. For example, Weberian and Marxist theories on the two pages overlap, as does much of the rest of the content. Klbrain (talk) 21:44, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
