Unfinished merge of Email systemEmail system
From a search through Email's revision history, it seems the merge of Email system was never completed. It is worth attempting, as email systems are a robust topic of study. Tule-hog (talk) 22:49, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

@JJelax: I propose merging Email apnea into Email#Issues due to the lack of notability, small size, and overlap. IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 02:22, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. I disagree with merging. The email article is about the technology while email apnea is about something comparable to sleep apnea. Email apnea is really about apnea while working or using a screen; the use of the word "email" in the name of the concept is an instance of synecdoche. We wouldn't merge butt dialing into buttocks.

- Just to clarify that Email apnea is a Phenomenon not a validated health condition like sleep apnea. The same argument could be made that “Email bankruptcy” isn’t related to email because it’s a type of fatigue. IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 21:34, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
- No opinion on the merger, but this should be listed at WP:UA lol. JuxtaposedJacob (talk) | :) | he/him | 08:26, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Just add it yourself! :) I can do stuff! (talk) 22:00, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose. Email Apnea is just the name for the effect that happens as a result of Email or computer use as a whole. I really don't see how email apnea can be merged into email. I can do stuff! (talk) 14:54, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
