Talk:Commissioner of Weihaiwei

Merge to Weihaiwei under British rule
Most of this information is contained in the British rule article. That article is nowhere near long enough to require content forks for items like this. Any additional information here should be merged into the main article. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:22, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose This is nothing more than a POINTy nomination. A position equivalent to that of a British Governor can reasonably be expected to have its own independent page. After all, I don't see the same allegations aimed at Commissioner of the British Antarctic Territory and they do even less than the Commissioner of Weihaiwei did. Again with the fork accusation? It is getting old as this is not a fork. Plus do we really need these unending merge nominations? If you are that concerned, why not just take it to AFD where there can be a proper decision made promptly?  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 07:59, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Not pointy in the slightest, it's perfectly acceptable to suggest merging two start-class articles which have similar coverage. There's not a real argument to continually create spin off articles of this nature. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:11, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * And there's no need to AFD this, as you can see at Talk:Tomahawk chop, plenty of discussion there, there's no deadline. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:20, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * It is not a spin-off, the British rule article does not go into detail about the Commissionership beyond who held the office at what time (most of them uncited I will also add). The argument I am making is that colonial heads of government positions are notable under WP:NPOL thus should have their own articles. If you really think that this shouldn't be the case, then take it to AFD (where incidentally there isn't any discussion here). And why no deadline, doesn't seem reasonable to keep things running for eternity until you get the answers you want.  The C of E  God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 08:25, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * You said the other articles aren't spin-offs but gradually the community is disagreeing with you. This has only been running four days.  Patience. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:32, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Please continue discussion at the target's talk page, Talk:Weihaiwei under British rule where there is also relevant discussion. Klbrain (talk) 16:40, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
