Proposal to re-split

Copied from /Archive 1: Template:Tq

It's been 2 years since the articles were merged and I'm finally getting to come back to this. I now think Dan is right, the specific way in which the merge happened wasn't correct. Most of this article is specifically about library science, not "library and information science" as an interdisciplinary field in which postgraduate qualifications are taken.

After the merge I did a title swap, because this title had very old page history associated with it. I now see that was a mistake, sorry. The article should have been at the title "Library science" from the beginning, the swap had no benefit beyond nostalgia.

I propose that the small amount of content about the interdisciplinary field is extracted to a new article with this title, and this article renamed to "library science", linking out to the new article as appropriate.  — Hex talk 13:24, 19 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
