Three articles needed?

Do nine, block and glider, and wing all need their own article, or should they be merged into one article with the name Wing? They're the same sequence. I can see T-tetromino getting its own article (there are 9 generations between it and anything else with its own non-redirect page, some T-tetrominoes such as the ones in pre-pulsars never become traffic lights, and it's also well-known for being a c/2 or c/5 spaceship in OCA), but not this.

The merged article should be about the evolutionary sequence; the fact that the wing is an induction coil is very minor compared to the sequence. HotdogPi (talk) 13:55, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

I agree that the articles should be merged. Your proposed merger looks good, so feel free to edit the pages accordingly (it's easy enough to revert if someone objects). I also support using "Wing" as the title for the page.

Is the still life tabulation completely irrelevant?

The tabulation was not made by me, and here is a copy for reference: GUYTU6J (talk) 13:36, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Still life

Nine is a part of several still lifes, as shown in the table below.

Object Population Other part
Integral sign 9 Pre-block
Tub with nine 10 Tub
File:Hookwithnine.png Hook with nine Hook
Cis-boat with nine 11 Boat
Trans-boat with nine
Long hook with nine Long hook
Hungry hat Unnamed
Cis-barge with nine 12 Barge
Trans-barge with nine
Beehive with nine Beehive
Claw with nine Claw
Cis-very long hook with nine Very long hook
Trans-very long hook with nine
Twelve loop Unnamed

Wing can act as an induction coil and it is sometimes called R-loaf when being used this way. Two wings suffice to make a still life, with five possible isomers:

Cis-mirrored wing
Trans-mirrored wing
Shift-mirrored wing
Cis-rotated wing
Trans-rotated wing

A sixth still life exists in which physical connection between both wings exists:

Wing bridge wing
I don't think it's necessary. It feels like table spam to me. HotdogPi (talk) 14:14, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
