Article exactly duplicates content from Herd behavior, and isn't a big enough topic to deserve its own article separate from Herd behavior. nneonneo ^talk 18:58, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as WP:CFORK of Herd behavior. -- 220.238.38.228 (talk) 10:30, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as suggested on the page itself. AfD is not for obvious mergers. Bearian (talk) 18:13, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing to merge, actually. All the content already exists at Herd behavior. The merge tag on the article was added at the same time as the AfD, but deletion (or perhaps just redirection) is clearly a better response. -- 101.119.15.171 (talk) 11:26, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Herd behavior. This is a largely redundant copy of a portion of the herd behavior of the article; only the reference given seems different. Thus the proposed merge (to resolve the reference) seems the best action. Redirect is OK, but it is a fairly unlikely search term. No prejudice to recreation if someone wants to dig up multiple in depth reliable sources and use them to write a substantially expanded article. --Mark viking (talk) 12:33, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we need to merge for that one reference, which now exists in Herd behavior in a more accurate form. -- 101.119.14.226 (talk) 12:47, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
