Thinly sourced and duplicative of Numerology, isopsephy, gematria, etc. Sennalen (talk) 00:21, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest relocating anything useful to those other pages, then redirecting to Magic in Harry Potter#Arithmancy Sennalen (talk) 00:23, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to numerology as a plausible search term. I see nothing of value that is sourced that should be merged. --Kinu ^t/_c 19:39, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Oh wow, both this article and
  common name by a very wide margin (e.g. Google Scholar results 41.300 vs 245; Ngrams). There's nothing worth merging anywhere as far as I can see, so yes, please redirect to numerology. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 20:00, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply

• Redirect per everyone above. Ovinus (talk) 20:06, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect, more or less per
  WP:TNT. I think numerology is broad enough, and arithmancy (in the meaning of: divining the future through numbers and dates associated with the subject) a specific enough subtopic that it could plausibly have a standalone subtopic article, per Wikipedia:Summary style. But the articles in their current state do not serve that function. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:11, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply

• Redirect, to numerology, per above comments. Hey man im josh (talk) 00:32, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect, because it is just an archaic name for the same. --Gilgul Kaful (talk) 09:16, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
