Talk:Balnibarbi

Merger proposal
It is proposed that Maldonada (Gulliver's Travels) be merged to here. Goustien (talk) 23:20, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Support, but I doubt that this location is much more notable either. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:20, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Well I would be opposed ( obviously!), but what are the grounds for this merger? The reasons to choose from are here; but I don’t see any overlap or duplication, and the article is bigger than stub size. Why do you want these articles merged? Moonraker12 (talk) 02:28, 4 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Support Neither article is particularly long (although Balnibarbi might be expanded), the two topics are closely linked, and there is not much more to say about Maldonada beyond what is already in this article. PatGallacher (talk) 21:35, 31 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose The Critical Companion to Jonathan Swift has separate entries for these places and this demonstrates the way that a professional reference work does this properly. Merger tends to bloat pages unnecessarily and is unhelpful to the reader who is better served by succinct entries for specific names. Andrew🐉(talk) 13:54, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Support merge as per overlap, short text and context. Both are sufficiently brief that page size is not an issues, readers will be helped by the context post-merge, and Wikipedia should not follow the conventions of scope/pagination used by specialist publications. To be precise, a topic independently notable in the Critical Companion to Jonathan Swift need not be independently notable in Wikipedia. Klbrain (talk) 10:00, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
