Notice of requested move
It has been proposed to move Aberdeen to Aberdeen, Scotland or Aberdeen city, and to move Aberdeen (disambiguation) to Aberdeen. The discussion about this is here. --Una Smith (talk) 16:33, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Notable people section
I removed Billy Brasfield from the Notable People section because he does not have a Wikipedia article, which is required to establish notability. This is the information I removed, "Billy Brasfield, (Makeup Artist) also known as Billy B. ". Thanks!--Fraulein451 (talk) 00:47, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Merger proposal
Hey. I'm proposing to merge Skirmish at Aberdeen, Mississippi with Aberdeen, Mississippi. I originally proposed a deletion. However, I think this battle could enhance the history section of Aberdeen, Mississippi and doesn't warrant it's own article. I want to discuss if this first so that there's a clear consensus and not get a revert.


 * Ref 1 has it listed merely as a date, in a list with multitudes of other skirmishes and battles that do not have their own page. This is what I found in my original PROD request, when mentioning secondary sources not going further than listing the article.


 * Ref 2 is the source mentioned in my delete proposal. Even though Google books has it as Congressional Series, page vii of the book shows the name of the document as The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. On p. 715, has it listed in four general reports: Burgh, Henry B.; Hepburn, William P.; Smith, William Sooy; and Heinrichs, Gustav. I looked at the reports again to see the coverage.


 * 1) page 252 (Smith): says he sent a brigade to Aberdeen to threaten Columbus.
 * 2) page 279 (Heinrichs): mentions that skirmishes occurred near either Prairie Mound or Aberdeen.
 * 3) page 291 (Hepburn): this report is mentioning Aberdeen and gives a two sentence summary on what happened in Burgh's report.
 * 4) page 297 (Burgh): one paragraph in the report talks about what happened. It happened while the army was on the way to get Meridian in the Meridian Expedition.


 * Ref 3 is redundant. It lists the information and points back to Ref 2. (Top of page 23 on the source says "This contribution is intended to be a complete index to the accounts of military operations in Mississippi as published by the Federal Government in the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, Series I.", which is the document in Ref 2) Other mentions of Aberdeen in the source are Reconstruction.

Pages 291 and 297 are the main reasons I can see Skirmish at Aberdeen being on Wikipedia, but as a merge with the page on Aberdeen, MS, not as its own page.

For reference, here's my original delete information before these sources were added:

When searching for Skrimish at Aberdeen, MS, many references seem to be circular back to Wikipedia and Wiki-like sources. The NPS.gov site simply lists it from a book in 1908 that gives little details. I'm also unable to find secondary sources that go further than simply listing the article. The only in-depth source I've found was a collection of primary sources written by the belligerents called The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies.

It's been right over 2 weeks and no discussion has occurred, so I'm merging. JonathanTheLibrarian (talk) 14:29, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
