Why shouldn't it be merged with Group of Two? -- AnonMoos (talk) 17:58, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

:If I understand how Wikipedia works, the question should go the other way. Why should it merge? --Biblbroks (talk) 20:08, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

::Because this is a somewhat ugly-sounding neologism coined by a journalist, which does not seem to have caught on in any major way... AnonMoos (talk) 02:06, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

:::Ugly or not, it's there. And the article states "... by historian Niall Ferguson and economist Moritz Schularick..." - that's two people. First one has quite an ample article. On the other hand, the second one has a red link associated with the name. Regards, --Biblbroks (talk) 15:24, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

::::However, does this article serve any distinctive purpose which would not be served better by merging its information into the Group of Two article? I would tend to doubt it... AnonMoos (talk) 19:11, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

:::::Then be my guest: tend to doubt it. Btw, you could also propose a merge. Best regards, --Biblbroks (talk) 21:12, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

::::::I was asking if anyone had any real significant meaningful reasons to oppose a merge. AnonMoos (talk) 00:34, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

:::::::After checking some refs from both articles, other links from those refs, their timestamps, and the usage and the meaning of the terms Chimerica and G-2 in those sources, I think that the term G-2 is older than Chimerica. So it might be appropriate to merge this article into G-2. Therefore I conclude that I have no real significant meaningful reasons to oppose such a merge if it were proposed. --Biblbroks (talk) 09:42, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

i've rarely heard gang of two, but "chin-am" or "ChinAm" is quite common among the diaspora. "chin-am relations", 3rd gen chinam", etc. if we're gonna mention its japanese equiv "nichi-bei", we should at least mention the one it's ACTUALLY meant to supplant.

more importantly, why did ferguson et al feel a need to coin a new version? file under "reinventing the wheel".... 66.30.47.138 (talk) 07:23, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
