[edit] Rename/Move Article
Should this article be called Deep Foundations instead of Pile? --Tom Bonnie 22:00, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps, but laymen are more likely to look for the term pile than the term deep foundations. It may be better to create a redirect from Deep foundation and Piling to Pile. Argyriou (talk) 23:43, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

- Redirects created --Tom Bonnie 04:24, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect is not wise. Deep foundations and piles ARE NOT the same thing. Piles are a category in deep foundations. There are multiple different types of deep foundations including piles, drilled shafts, caissons and piers. ~Zuejay 13:37, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Split page
- Would it be a good idea to possible split this page into a couple of different pages? This is a page that covers a lot of information including information that a person wanting information may not think to just look for pile. if someone is searching fro driven pile or drilled pile they get no information because it is a sub category of pile and they simply leave Wikipedia and search for the information else where. Is there anything that can be done so the search is less general and more critical? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pdigrl (talk • contribs) 13:16, 22 January 2007 (UTC).
