In response to a proposal to broaden Home Improvement, an answer counter-proposed merging Home Improvement with Arts & Crafts into a broader DIY community:

There is a significant overlap in scope and knowledge of the two proposals. For example if there is a question about how to cut out a piece of metal, it doesn't really matter if the piece will be used to fix a chair or create a piece of jewellery. If there is a question about how to clean a paint brush, it doesn't matter too much if the brush was used to paint a kitchen or prime a canvas.

Based on the activity levels of the existing Codidact communities, I think the resulting scope wouldn't be too broad.

This is an interesting idea and the answer has gotten a few upvotes, but I'm looking for broader input and especially from people participating in Arts & Crafts, hence this new question. To be clear, this would be instead of broadening Home Improvement to "Homes", which was not a popular idea.

The Arts & Crafts proposal includes digital art, which might not fit cleanly -- I think most people who see "DIY" (do it yourself) are thinking of physical doing. Everything else in that proposal seems to fit with this suggestion, and there haven't been any incubator questions yet about digital art.

Should we merge Home Improvement and Arts & Crafts and launch? If so, what should we call the new community? When I hear "DIY" I think "handyman" not "art", but maybe I'm unusual. I sometimes hear people talk about "maker spaces", which seem to serve crafters of various sorts who need access to shop equipment and similar, but I don't know enough about the crafting community to know if that's a useful concept to include in a name.

Home improvers, DIYers, artists, crafters -- what do y'all think about this merger proposal, and how do you collectively identify?
