Many other articles about pigments and colors are combined. Also, major discrepancies between Carmine and Carmine (color), such as the actual hue of carmine Purpleback pack 89≈≈≈≈ 21:32, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

:Agree that the articles could be combined, so why is this a deletion instead of a merge? Is the plan to merge the color info into Carmine after the deletion? VMS Mosaic (talk) 03:26, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

keep article gives overall good analysis of the color--Jgarcia44 (talk) 15:47, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

::But if the color and pigment have contradictory information, one or both must not be good analysis... Purpleback pack 89≈≈≈≈ 15:39, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

:::But it looks like the Carmine article has the bad analysis because it appears to display an incorrect color for the pigment. VMS Mosaic (talk) 03:31, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

:Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Merge into Variations of red - Carmine is certainly an important color. However, I don't think it is notable enough for its own article. Better is to describe it in a larger article devoted to various shades of red, namely Variations of red. That is the convention used for colors in WP - for example see the other "color list" articles such as Variations of green or Variations of blue. To deserve its own article, the color carmine would need a large number of significant sources, but the article shows only two trivial sources. --Noleander (talk) 06:12, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
