Hmm - actually not. Orientation of churches is a long, rather ponderous, article on the actual orientation of churches through history, while Liturgical east and west is a short & handy article on the theoretical orientation that is assumed when describing churches, to keep things simple. I'm not sure the reader is served by mashing the two together, & it might confuse many. Each links to the other, & the difference is explained in each (this could be perhaps made a tad clearer). If they are merged, the shorter "Liturgical" article should be above "Orientation", after the lead. Very little text cutting or merging should be needed, as they are actually different subjects. To be clear, I Oppose'. Johnbod (talk) 14:50, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge: while the current content is different in scope, the articles are so closely related that readers are best served by having the two topics discussed in one place; perhaps the liturgical idea followed by what actually happens! Klbrain (talk) 11:46, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
