Merger
I don't think the entries for Compact and Tabloid should be merged, because compact is used to describe only the size of the paper, whereas Tabloid is a much broader term and also includes the content of the paper. That is, although a tabloid paper is compact, a compact paper may not be a tabloid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.31.204.15 (talk • contribs)

- I agree with the above, and will remove the merger notice. Merging could only reduce the chance of readers gaining a full understanding of the issues. Tabloid also has other meanings outside the UK. Both terms should be described fully in their own article. Honbicot (talk) 00:19, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
- There's definitely a distinction, but you have it wrong. In application to newspapers, the term “compact” does not in fact, describe only the size of the paper; a “compact” paper is of broadsheet quality. The term “tabloid”, on the other hand, has two definitions, one neutral and one disparaging. —SlamDiego←T 20:58, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
I have removed the corresponding merge notice from Tabloid. --Alvestrand (talk) 06:20, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Quality
This article, like many
I would say that the term 'broadsheet quality' is not as neutral as it perhaps could be, any other suggestions for the readership/editorial standards? High brow seems a little strong... Maybe 'former broadsheet compacts'? It Figures. (talk) 23:06, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- It isn't really an option to redefine “compact” — “neutrality” while baldly claiming that any given newspaper is in fact a compact. —SlamDiego←T 02:12, 17 February 2010 (UTC)]
