There is a clear consensus to not merge the two articles. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 15:31, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging Sex work into Sex industry. There is too much overlap between the articles since the topics are hardly different words. Content that is in one article and missing in the other would still fit in the article it was missing in. Thus, adding them together would just get a richer article and less people missing one article or the other. JustBeCool (talk) 15:48, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Disagree (1) Currently, your proposal is a bit vague; which sections of the articles overlap? What issues would be better in one over the other? (2) There's already hatnotes on both pages. Why not add wikilinks to both pages in the hatnotes? (3) Even if there is overlap, I think both articles cover separately notable topics; one covers issues regarding what sex work is, how it's regulated, and how commenters have reacted to it. The other article discusses the sex industry more broadly.
Maybe asking for expert help on some relevant noticeboards would be helpful. voorts (talk/contributions) 19:09, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"I think both articles cover separately notable topics; one covers issues regarding what sex work is" Whatever was mentioned to what sex work is such as pornography, stripping etc can be and has been covered in both articles. "One covers,...how it is regulated" How it is regulated is covered in the sex work article but not in the sex industry article but that is only because no one has added it yet as it is only appropriate that regulation of the sex industry should be mentioned in an article on sex industry. "One covers,...how commenters have reacted to it" As you can see in both articles, how commenters have reacted to it is covered in both articles. "The other article discusses the sex industry more broadly" What is something more broad about it in sex industry that cannot also be included in the sex work article? "What issues would be better in one over the other?" Exactly, it is not shown how one issue is better in one over the other. JustBeCool (talk) 23:31, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Whilst there is some overlap between the two, the topics are sufficiently different, as noted by voorts above, to justify an article for each --John B123 (talk) 20:17, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose i agree with the arguments made above in opposition to this merger. Iljhgtn (talk) 22:02, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Sex work is a subset of the sex industry as in mention in the sex industry article, but sex work is a subject that is notible enough to have its own article. Issues is sex work are not the same as issues in the sex industry and the merger of the two will prevent those notible issues from being properly discuss .

As industry

The merge proposal with sex work failed so it would be best to more clearly differentiate the two articles. There were only vague points made in how the topics are different, so I looked to other similar comparisons, like healthcare and healthcare industry. As the short description for healthcare industry says it is the 'economic sector focused on health', it would help to make this article about the industry aspect and shift the other content to the sex work article.
