Nothing here that isn't in Animal magnetism, & I don't think article title is a suitable redirect.TheLongTone (talk) 12:15, 12 August 2015 (UTC) TheLongTone (talk) 12:15, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Isn't this substantially a list?--Savonneux (talk) 13:14, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I agree that the article isn't very good. (That's not my fault -- all I did was make a Redirect.) But let's leave at least a Redirect. The reason I created the Redirect was that I heard someone use the word "magnétiseur" in French, and I wanted to know what it was. So I found it on the French Wikipedia. But there was no link to an English Wikipedia article. So I went to the trouble of searching for an article in the English Wikipedia that talks about these people, and then created an "article" (really just a Redirect) so that people can click on the link in non-English Wikipedias and find the article "Animal magnetism" in English. So please don't undo my work just because the article now is not of the highest quality, or for some other reason. (Find something else to do please.)

• Merge and disambiguate It's a list-ish article with few sources and a confusing name. Could easily be merged into Animal Magnetism as a list of practitioners. The term 'magnetizer' is used more often in the sense of 'Give magnetic properties to; make magnetic' per Magnetism and not Animal Magnetism making this potentionally confusing as well.--Savonneux (talk) 01:46, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Article animal magnetism does not have the necessary explanations, found in article magnetizer (magnetizer, mesmerizer, mesmerists and magnetists), as Mr. TheLongTone says. I believe we should also explain the difference between magnetizer and hypnotist (to enrich the theme). The Mr. Savonneux comment about being a possible list, He that would be a reference to the issue, identic to Nobel Prize (although there list), and to remedy the confusion referred, I suggest a disambiguation of the term, because merge or delete the article is take "effect for the cause" (Scientist - Science, Philosopher -Philosophy and etc, etc.), so the improvement of the article is required, but not to excluded.Rodrigo Elias Cardoso (talk) 15:02, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to Animal magnetism (when we say "merge" this allows useful content to be transferred). At present we have a lot more to say about "Scientists" and "Philosophers" than we do about "Magnetizers", so these topics have their own article per WP:SPLIT: If an article becomes too large, or a section of an article has a length that is out of proportion to the rest of the article... then the topic can be split off. If a large amount of encyclopedic information became available about magnetizers we could reconsider making it a stand-alone article: Noyster (talk), 10:01, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
