I propose that Asphalt batch mix plant be merged with Asphalt plant. The articles are about the same thing this title is much more likely to be searched then the batch plant name. The actually have a lot of the same verbage and seem to be forks of each other quite possible. XFEM Skier (talk) 07:57, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed - This article should cover asphalt plants in general, what they're used for, and general features, then describe batch plants vs. drum plants. The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) has a lot of info that could be drawn upon, including Asphalt Facilities: Processes and Machines and Animated Plant Tour. Just to note WP:COI, I work for NAPA. Carter (talk) 11:46, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support - They have the same information and should definitely be covered in one article. Additionally I think they some help to add sources, add pertinent information and remove unneeded information. XFEM Skier (talk) 15:38, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. There's now also Asphalt drum mix plant from one of the editors who who's contributed to both of the others. --McGeddon (talk) 00:04, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support - In the last days, at least two other related articles have been created:
My opinion is that this over-production of articles related to the same subject and to variants of it do not add much to the encyclopedia. Everything could be merged to the main article, Asphalt plant.— Preceding unsigned comment added by LowLevel73 (talkcontribs) 22:44, 8 November 2014‎

Improve the article

[edit]

I add some information to the article Asphalt mixing plant to make a complement. Since it's deleted, but not merged, I think I will add it here. However I thinks the two articles have some different information, and they are not merged with each other while deletion, which may cause information loss. As for the asphalt drum mix plant I created, yes, it belongs to asphalt plant, because it's a branch of asphalt plant, and there is a lot to say, so in some degree I think it's worth writing a single article. Anyway, I will try to shorten my article and add it here. Thanks for noticing.Wikisay (talk) 02:33, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
