Duplication & distinctions

I'm a bit unclear on the structure here, either what we need or what we have.

Do we really need two articles Anti-nuclear movement and Anti-nuclear protests with overlapping text? Aren't the protests part of the movement and, if so, should the protests article become a redirect to a section here?

Is there any single "anti-nuclear movement"? There are multiple issues. One might favour retaining nuclear weapons but want to ban tests; this is the position of various governments. Or one might abhor military use but favour civilian reactors. Nukes in space is another issue. I think we need a separate article on Nuclear disarmament, probably with Ban the bomb as a redirect and two-way linking between it and Nuclear non-proliferation.

My guess is this article needs headings for each of the distinct issues and a fairly large section on the protests. Sandy Harris 11:27, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
