The articles Cups (suit), Coins (suit), Batons (suit), Swords (suit) were created in 2019, duplicating longstanding content at Suit of cups, Suit of coins, Suit of wands, and Suit of swords, respectively. They should be merged if they have anything new. Dicklyon (talk) 06:17, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• This copied-and-pasted rationale is visibly faulty. Coins (suit) is visibly not a duplicate of Suit of coins. Coins (suit) is (it says) about playing cards and Suit of coins is (it says) about Tarot cards and has an alternative name of Suit of pentacles. Uncle G (talk) 09:22, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• * Keep but do not merge. These are two distinct topics. Although occultists based their suits on those of the Italian pattern playing cards, they started producing their own packs over 200 years ago for cartomancy. So Coins (suit) is specifically about the playing cards, whereas Suit of coins is purely about cartomantic cards. They have different designs and uses with almost no crossover. The same is true of batons and wands, cups and goblets, etc. We have been slowly untangling the mess caused by combining them, but there is more to do. I agree the naming should be changed and would suggest renaming Suit of coins to Pentacles (suit); equally we expand the disambiguator by calling them e.g. Foo (playing card suit) and Foo (cartomantic suit).
