Merge with Mean?

We already have a 'Mean' article here; should we merge this to it? ---ko (talk) 09:08, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I think the other averages (range, median, mode, and any others) deserve a mention here as well, so let's put this definition into Mean but then give a disambiguation page here. --Jesdisciple (talk) 14:23, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Average is a synonym for Mean. Merge and redirect Average to Mean. Localhost00 21:52, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:Average. "Average" is a more general term, but it most commonly refers to "mean." (The current text of Average suggests that they're synonyms, but I put that there as filler text to replace semi-vandalism.) --Jesdisciple (talk) 23:39, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
