== Removed photo of "the pill" ==

This article is specifically about the obsolete pharmaceutical dosage form which predated tablets and capsules.  A picture of "the pill" (i.e. contraceptive tablets) is not the right illustration. --[[User:Slashme|Slashme]] ([[User talk:Slashme|talk]]) 22:30, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

== February 2016 merger proposal ==
{{Discussion top|result=The result of this discussion was to merge. [[User:Chhandama|Chhandama]] ([[User talk:Chhandama|talk]]) 04:48, 7 June 2017 (UTC)}}

{{ping|McGeddon}}, {{ping|Johnbod}} et al; BE IT PROPOSED that the article [[Pill]] be considered for a merger with the [[Tablet]] article. The reasons are that the [[Pill]] article lacks enough substance to have merit as a verifiable article and that its relationship with [[Tablet]] is so similar that the [[Pill]] article should instead have its own section. Indeed, this will also clear up ambiguity over the image and image caption of pills on the [[Tablet]] article which has roused the attention of various contributors.

*'''Support''', assuming you mean [[Pill (pharmacy)]] - [[Pill]] is the disambiguation page. The only paragraph that doesn't really fit here is the one about the radio transmitter pills, but it doesn't belong there either. --[[User:McGeddon|McGeddon]] ([[User talk:McGeddon|talk]]) 16:09, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

*'''Support''': The [[Pill (pharmacy)]] article is so short that it can easily be integrated into the [[Tablet (pharmacy)]] article. Not only that, but the former article has content which is offtopic and irrelevant. In including the said article herein we can also justify and end the quarrel surrounding the contraceptive tablets, which are in fact such because pills are no longer produced. Offtopic: ''The Pill'' as slang for contraceptive tablet has dated usage and is probably discriminated based on usage by older generations.
