Talk:Charles Darwin Foundation

Merging with Charles Darwin Research Station
Both of these articles cover much of the same material, are rarely edited, and apply to more or less the same topic. The Charles Darwin Foundation page has been flagged for being written in a promotional tone, which can be fixed. It seems redundant to have both pages, as the information could be more easily accessible on one page. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 06:58, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

The argument against merging the CDRS and CDF pages is that the research station existed under the name CDRS from its founding in 1959 and dedication in 1964, until it was decided administratively to call both the Foundation (the Charles Darwin Foundation) and the Station (the Charles Darwin Research Station) by the same name and make them one indistinguishable entity. Certainly the Foundation still exists outside the Galápagos Islands and the Station only exists in the islands themselves. This history could be noted whether the pages are kept separate or merged.
