[[BCD (6-bit)]] [[User:Peter Flass|Peter Flass]] ([[User talk:Peter Flass|talk]]) 13:55, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
Per [[Wikipedia:Merging]], proposed merge discussions should take place on a single page. As I was confused by the separate discussion at [[Talk:BCD (6-bit)]], I took the liberty to merge it.
:There are many reasons for keeping [[BCD (6-bit)]] separate from [[Six-bit character code]] (I've used it for 35 years as System engineer at Bull, and it was a milestone)
# For the same reason we do not merge [[EBCDIC]] and [[ASCII]] Seven-bit character codes (8-bit later on)
'''Please participate in discussion at [[Talk:BCD (6-bit)]].''' Thanks, [[User:Wbm1058|Wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 17:46, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
# Not to allow it to be confused with [[Binary-coded decimal|BCD]]..
# [[Six-bit character code]] is generic (trying to comprehend all others..among them [[Fieldata]])
# [[Braille sixbit code]] it should go inside [[Six-bit character code]], but may not be included in [[BCD (6-bit)]]
# It was the first [[Six-bit character code]].. giving birth to its offsprings [[EBCDIC]] and [[ASCII]]
# Do you want to merge all 8bit code sets in one article?
# All code pages have separate articles.. Do you want to merge all code pages in one article?

::Fair 'nuff. [[User:Peter Flass|Peter Flass]] ([[User talk:Peter Flass|talk]]) 20:54, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
::On the other hand, as far as I can see there are no articles [[Seven-bit character code]] or [[Eight-bit character code]], just six-bit. The other major code pages each have their own article. I recently added an article on [[Transcode (character encoding)|IBM ''Transcode'']], which is a different 6-bit code and there are probably others. Do we need a generic article for six-bit codes?[[User:Peter Flass|Peter Flass]] ([[User talk:Peter Flass|talk]]) 12:42, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
:::I think it will be no need for the [[Six-bit character code]] article, in the moment all the included code systems they have its own article, as the other families. In the mean time they have to appear somewhere.--[[User:Mcapdevila|Mcapdevila]] ([[User talk:Mcapdevila|talk]]) 18:55, 20 June 2012 (UTC)\
