==Proposed merge with [[Queue]]==

{{WikiProject Systems|importance=Mid|field=Cybernetics}}
A merge was proposed by [[User:R.Koot]] - Shall we discuss it?

*'''Support''' - [[Queue]], [[FIFO]] and [[Circular Buffer]] all seem to be describing the same data structure - it seems reasonable to keep them in one article rather than three. But which of the three places should we move it to? And should we merge the 'accounting' and 'engineering' bits as well as the 'computer science' bits?

*'''Oppose''' for now -- they are not synonyms. [[FIFO]] is the behavior; [[Queue]] is an abstract data structure which produces that behavior; [[Circular buffer]] is a particular implementation that can be used for queues. As [[FIFO]] shows, the behavior is not limited to computer science, let alone to queues; as [[Queue]] shows, circular buffers are not the only implementation. There may be merits to doing some merging, but they have to be carefully considered. -- [[User:Antaeus Feldspar|Antaeus Feldspar]] 18:20, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

*'''Oppose'''. Agree with Antaeus Feldspar; also consider that there is an article on [[LIFO]], so having an article on [[FIFO]] is nice symmetry. &mdash;[[User:Bkell|Bkell]] 04:27, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

*'''Oppose'''. I agree with Feldspar, a "queue" is a data structure, "fifo" is essentially an algorithm or behavior. Merging the two would make about as much sense as merging "function" and "function object". --[[User:DropDeadGorgias|DropDeadGorgias]] [[User_talk:DropDeadGorgias|(talk)]] 15:34, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

At this time it seems there's '''no consensus to merge''' so I'm going to remove the proposal banner. I might add a link or two so people looking at each articles will at least know other articles exist...

:I never meant a total merge, for the reasons expressed by the people who opposed the merge. I do think the articles need to be significantly tweaked to avoid redundancy. --[[User:R.Koot|R.Koot]] 17:47, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
