This is not really important enough to merit a full article. It should probably be merged but I don't know to where. CodeCat (talk) 23:56, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Memory management. Cusop Dingle (talk) 20:43, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Can be merged somewhere (altough I don't see a pressing need to do so), but than can be discussed on the talk page. —Ruud 20:16, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and merge to Memory management. No reason given for deletion by nom. --Kvng (talk) 17:13, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I think there's room to develop this topic as an encyclopedic article. The term has broader use in computer science than just memory management, so it should not be merged there. It can refer to coalescing anything. For example, in a compiler, it can refer to coalescing operations, e.g., as described here. Msnicki (talk) 01:02, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. and expand/fix. It will just get buried in MemManagement. History2007 (talk) 18:23, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:42, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
