Talk:Galaxy morphological classification

Proposed merge from Disc galaxy

The article Disc galaxy is just a one sentence definition that I think gets better context in this general article about galaxy classification. I don't see how Disc galaxy could be expanded beyond a definition without duplicating other related articles; we already have an article for the disc component of the galaxy: Disc (galaxy). Since Wikipedia is not a dictionary, I think there's a clear case to merge into this article. Forbes72 (talk) 21:01, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

• Oppose, Disc galaxy should be merged into Disc (galaxy) rather than merged into Galaxy morphological classification (As seen here). Galaxy morphological classification talks about the types of classifications of Galaxies, not the actual types. Disc galaxy and Disc (galaxy), one talks about the type of galaxy and the other talks about it as a feature. Most disk galaxies are actually spirals and are usually never just plain Disk Galaxies making it somewhat redundant? Davidbuddy9 (talk) 00:30, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

The discussion on Disc galaxy seemed to indicate consensus was against merging "Disc (galaxy)" and "Disc galaxy". The editors there agreed that "disc" was a morphological classification of some type, as opposed to a feature.(but it's unclear to me which system of classification is being referred to) Disc as morphological type also shows up in the Galaxy template. Is "disc" just an ad-hoc classification? There's no sources for "Disc galaxy". Forbes72 (talk) 20:30, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

Template:Outdent I removed the merger hatnote from August 2015 here and here. There is no agreement or initiative to merge Disc galaxy (type) with Disc (galaxy) (component) or with Galaxy morphological classification (this aricle). Instead I'll post it on WT:AST (link to post to be followed) to ask a wider audience, OK? Rfassbind – talk 10:51, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Van Den Bergh Luminosity Class

The article doesn't mention the Van Den Bergh luminosity class and I don't see it mentioned elsewhere on Wikipedia.[1][2][3] Could that be covered? Praemonitus (talk) 00:43, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
