Talk:Scarecrow

Why was this article split?
I strongly oppose the recent split of this article. We've created three articles where one was perfectly adequate. Scarecrows aren't a race or a species in the Whoniverse. They are a common element to the English countryside which have occasionally been used as a tool by various forces. They are in fact simple, ordinary objects. Would we really create multiple articles for hammers or postcards or sinks? I don't think we would. I think we would write an article called, for instance, sink, and point out the one in Planet of Giants, and the one that Jackie had fixed in Love and Monsters, and be done with it. To put these in different articles is to be seduced by the impression that they are "monsters", rather than dispassionately understanding they are actual scarecrows.

I would also note that this rather major change to the article occurred without even so much as a summary note in the article history. It is completely opaque why this article was split in the first place.

I therefore ask for the reversion of this article to the point before it was split, and the deletion of the two new articles, Animated scarecrows (Time Lords) and Animated scarecrows (Family of Blood).
