Merge Young Eagles to Experimental Aircraft Association
The Young Eagles article is a stub, and I believe it should be merged into the EAA article. N. Harmon 02:03, 19 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Young Eagles, though a program of the EAA, is too dissimilar from the EAA IMO to be merged, both articles with enough care can be expanded to stand on their own with a little effort. PPGMD 02:11, 19 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree with PPGMD - this article will grow to be a useful stand-alone in time. Perhaps the "merger" proposal is inhibiting potential contributers from working on it? Since the merger was proposed two months ago and is not generally supported, can we remove the label soon and get on with expanding the YE article? Ahunt 11:19, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Removed merger proposals. Lets see how far we can expand the YE article. :-) N. Harmon 18:53, 17 August 2006 (UTC)


 * It looks quite successful to me. Good job everyone! RoyalbroilT : C 14:46, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Chapters
It would be a nice idea if there were articles about specific EAA chapters (notable ones, of course), either in the text of the article or as independent articles. Wingtipvortex (talk) 00:04, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * The guideline on including chapters of organizations in the organization's main article or in separate articles is at ORG which lays out which ones would be considered notable. It says:


 * Even though the parent organization may be notable, individual chapters of national and international organizations may not be notable enough to warrant a separate article. Individual chapters of national and international organizations are usually not notable enough to warrant a separate article unless they are substantially discussed by reliable independent sources that extend beyond the organization's local area.


 * Articles on notable Local chapters are best started as a section of the parent organization article. If the parent article grows to the point where information needs to be split off to a new article, and notability of the new article's topic can be demonstrated using the general notability guideline, then it can be split. This should occur as a top down process.


 * The key thing is the usual requirement for independent third party references to show notability as per WP:N. So if EAA chapters have received substantial coverage in independent national publications (e.g. not just in Sport Aviation) or at least non-local media (e.g. a write up in the local paper doesn't really count) then they may be notable enough for a mention in the main article. For a separate article you need enough refs for an article of enough length to justify the separate article. We try to avoid starting articles that will never get beyond a sentence of two as they will be merged back into the parent article.


 * As you can tell all of this is designed to prevent club members writing up their own little local club in Wikipedia, just because they think it is important, but it hasn't registered beyond the town borders. There probably are a few chapters that would qualify for addition to the EAA article, not sure if any would stand up to a separate article. Hope that helps. - Ahunt (talk) 00:33, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
