::I agree with Melanochromis' method that some articles are unnecessary, but I think it really should go on a case by case basis as to what should have its own article and what should just be combined. For example, the crown pearlscale and pearlscale is a good example of two that should just be "Pearlscale", but on the other hand telescope eye and black moor should be separate even though black moor is technically a type of telescope eye. It's simply so popular and old a breed that it deserves its own article. So maybe this is something that should be taken on article by article.--[[User:Terrapin83|Terrapin83]] 02:59, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
:::I somewhat disagree about the moor issue. Even though we can say that it has been in the hobby for a long time, this makes very little of its own information to warrant itself its own article. The differences, if any, seemingly could be summarized in a paragraph, unless there is a sort of "history of the Black Moor" that one could write about to reflect this main difference in that specific color morph. Calico fantail is just a color variety of fantail, and we can agree on this. On the other hand, the black moor is also a color morph (if not the most popular color morph) of the telescope eye goldfish. Two articles would probably be redundant, and one should just redirect to the other. If nothing much new or specific can be said about the black moor that would significantly differentiate its article from the telescope eye goldfish article, than they can simply both be addressed together in the same article.

::Given the recommended article length is 32KB why not make a single "breeds of goldfish" article. Certainly most breeds dont (beyond stub class, as described previously) have enough information to warrant a full length article and I agree with previous comments re: repetition. One article would, in my opinion, solve the issue. [[User:MidgleyDJ|MidgleyDJ]] 05:36, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
