Respiratory risks of indoor swimming pools

There is a new article created at Respiratory risks of indoor swimming pools, which I think should probably be merged into Swimming pool#Safety. I don't know much about the topic, but this doesn't seem like it would warrant its own article. Please review the article and discuss. Bradv 19:33, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Artificial

They are artificial. Otherwise they would be called "natural pools" or "the sea". The entire article is about man made swimming pools like the kind you find half destroyed and on fire down your local council leisure center. Those heated, concrete, tiled pools you find in millionaires back yards didn't come about by natural forces did they? They were built there. Hence they are artificial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.12.102.123 (talk) 13:48, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"That is"

While I don't know the background of the dispute here, I tend to agree with the IP editor -- "that is" does not appear to be needed in the lead sentence, and can be removed without changing its meaning. I don't get why there is resistance to the change, and am tempted to make it myself but would like to avoid jumping into an edit war. Calidum ¤ 15:48, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly what I was thinking. I also think the extra words are unnecessary. --Mirokado (talk) 16:28, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's block evasion by Cebr1979. But if you guys are happy to take responsibility for the change, I'm cool with it. Graham87 07:52, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why? There's absolutely no valid reason for anyone to move the article without a prior thorough discussion. - Tom | Thomas.W ^talk 08:20, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
