Propose merging Violet light into this page

I propose merging Violet light into this page. I think this would be a fairly uncontroversial merge. Violet light is quite short. All of its content would be appropriate on on this page. No mainspace pages link to it (not even this page). Nevertheless, I thought I would open it up for discussion first. I can take care of the merge myself in a week or two if there are no objections.

I agree that this is for the best. "Violet" is an anthropocentric concept and it would therefore be appropriate to discuss violet light under the category of violet color. Furthermore the article violet (color) has sufficient science subtitles to accommodate the violet light article, whereas the violet light article cannot naturally accommodate the variety of subtitles under violet (color). I hope that you will make the merge as soon as possible, to provide certainty and closure to this awkward issue. 2001:8003:2002:8D00:98D6:2433:6119:C566 (talk) 07:10, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Violet (color) → Violet – Violet (color) is a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC this should be change to Violet. JeBonSer (talk) 01:22, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Not primary topic. There is also a flower called violet. Astrocond (talk) 01:54, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The proposal contains absolutely zero evidence for the claim of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC compared to the flower. Tassedethe (talk) 03:25, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. You didn't provide evidence that "violet" most commonly refers to the color. Quincy2293 (talk) 13:42, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
