I propose that Raised beach (created in 2004) be merged into Marine terrace (created in 2006). This duplicate is the result of a split from Wave-cut platform in 2006, without a redirect link for this exact term. I think that the content in the Marine terrace article, though created later than Raised beach, explains the subject better (Raised beach was flaged as "too technical") and the Marine terrace article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Raised beach will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. — Foldo Squirrel(nuts?) 19:24, 6 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
Modified Support I support the merging of the two articles, but I do not agree that 'marine terrace' is preferable. The term 'raised beach' explains precisely what it is, and 'marine terrace' is every bit as technical as 'raised beach' - if not more so (except when it is the name of a street, which just adds to the potential for confusion). The mere fact that 'marine terrace' was originally confused with 'wave-cut platform' demonstrates that 'marine terrace' is susceptible to being misunderstood in a way that it is not possible to misunderstand 'raised beach'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.159.52.45 (talk) 16:54, 22 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
Modified Support I also support the merging of both articles and share the opinion of the former user. Moreover, as far as I know, 'Raised beach' is more often used than 'Marine terrace', which makes the first the most appropriate name for the merged page.--Tom Meijer (talk) 08:53, 14 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
