Talk:Ethernet in the first mile

Latest comment: 10 years ago by DavidCary in topic Merge in 2BASE-TL and 10PASS-TS?

Title caps edit

The article is titled as though Ethernet in the first mile is a proper noun. I doubt this.Any objection to lower case first mile as per WP:CAPS? --Kvng (talk) 14:44, 1 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Merge in 2BASE-TL and 10PASS-TS? edit

Yes, I agree to make this an article on the concept in general instead of on one set of standards or another. That is why I am proposing a merge, although it may take a while since may of the other articles are not sourced very well. W Nowicki (talk) 23:58, 15 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
Is that the merger of the articles about particular EFM PHY layers into this article? If so, then if this article is about the concept in general, not about particular standards, wouldn't that suggest that the particular PHYs have their own pages (as at least some other PHYs do), especially given that the various EFM PHYs are somewhat different (copper and different flavors of glass)?

I agree that any particular PHY could have its own page. But I am of the opinion that if there is not much to say about some particular topic, even though it otherwise qualifies for a page of its own, then we might as well merge the few words about that specific topic into a more general article.
If it later turns out there is a lot more to say about 2BASE-TL and 10PASS-TS, then I hope it will be easy to undo my merge and split them back out (Wikipedia:Summary style) into their own independent articles. --DavidCary (talk) 03:04, 17 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
