Article creation[edit]

I've added excerpts from a discussion between myself and User:Pdfpdf as a rough explanation why an article was created about a dead local government area.

Hi,

I see that you recently edited parts of Elizabeth, South Australia. I'm just letting you know that I've recently removed material that unfortunately happens to include your edits. I did this because the material relates to the former City of Elizabeth more so than the suburb of the same name. In regards to these suburb articles (indeed all articles), my view is that if it doesn't directly relate to the primary topic, it should be moved to where it is directly relevant.

Nonetheless, I don't want the removed stuff to disappear entirely. Accordingly, do you think the material would be best added to a new article (City of Elizabeth) or to a City of Elizabeth section in the City of Playford article? Or do you have an alternative suggestion?

What have the other amalgamated council articles done? (Local Government Areas of South Australia)

City of Charles Sturt - It came into being on 1 January 1997 as a result of the amalgamation of the City of Hindmarsh Woodville and the City of Henley and Grange. (City of Hindmarsh, City of Woodville)
City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters - Nothing! City of Norwood, City of Payneham, City of St Peters
City of Playford - It was formed in 1997 through the merger of City of Elizabeth and City of Munno Para, which were formed in 1955 and 1988, respectively. The City of Munno Para had previously been the District Council of Munno Para, originally established in 1853.
etc.

Well, nothing to go on from South Australia! Looking at other states:

Qld: City of Brisbane#History - " ... the Brisbane City Council, in 1925 by amalgamating twenty smaller LGAs ... ", followed by a string of separate articles.
Vic: City of Brighton - i.e. a separate article.

My suggestion: New separate article (City of Elizabeth).

Thank you. Being a planned city, a City of Elizabeth article certainly seems notable. I suspect, though, that it will remain a stub for quite a while, until someone with more interest in the topic decides to fiddle with it.

Anyway, thanks again for your help.~ ~ : Lincoln Cooper : ~ ~ (talk) 12:16, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know the article still needs a lot of work. If you're interested in the topic, feel free to edit.~ ~ : Lincoln Cooper : ~ ~ (talk) 14:16, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
