Merge

edit

This isn't a massive topic, perhaps we should just merge them into one article instead? Regarding the name, perhaps they could both go to Personal and social grooming instead? Richard001 03:30, 26 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • Merge I'd vote for "Social grooming" as the title of the merged article. 24.107.194.216 03:54, 26 January 2007 (UTC) (I'll never remember that IP address is me. I should have logged on.)Reply
  • Don't Merge personal grooming refers to grooming oneself; social grooming refers to grooming another. Also, personal grooming is more a human related term, while social grooming is a term most commonly used by zoologists in reference to non-human animals. Either keep separate or merge both into the grooming article. VanTucky 07:23, 29 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
They are both grooming though, and neither subject warrants much more than a stubbish article. Personal and social grooming occur in both human and non-human animals. The only reason I didn't suggest merging into grooming is that it's a disambig. Perhaps we could move it there and make a different page for a disambiguation.

Why shaving?

edit

I'm not sure why this article puts so much emphasis on male shaving. How is this more important than any other type of grooming? Additionally, I vote for removal of the section about after-shave lotions, as it reads more like an advertisement than an encyclopedic article. 92.202.1.11 (talk) 15:27, 25 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Move to Preening (animals)

edit

I have never heard the words 'personal grooming' applied to animals. The word 'preening' is used in everyday English language, particularly to birds. I propose that the information on this page relating to animals is moved to a new page titled Preening (animals).__DrChrissy (talk) 18:30, 6 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
