Talk:Cover art

[edit] Merge proposal
The term cover art is also used to describe book covers, magazine covers, newspaper covers and so on. So, merging this with Album cover does not seem appropriate to me. Sparkit 05:09, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- I understand your reasoning, but the actual Cover art article is very short and focuses almost entirely on albums. Perhaps if this article was expanded upon, detailing the other forms of cover art you mention, and perhaps information on notable artists or art companies, and a link provided to Album cover, then the merge idea could be scrapped. It would also validate linking back from Album cover to here. Gram 11:02, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Bit surprised to see the merge proposal resurface after it was fairly clear there was no consensus for a merge over the last couple of months. FWIW, my view is that both articles have the potential to be meaningful in their own right. The fact that Cover Art has not yet matured into a substantial article is not a reason to merge. Clearly there are elements of Album Cover which are generic to the concept of cover art, but what should be clear is that Album Covers was intending to cover in part the "historic" cultural aspect which is different to the generic.
