Talk:Leicestershire Scout County (The Scout Association)

Merging Willesley to here
The County articles are both few and generally short. Articles on camp sites and groups are also likely to be short and are likely to be put forward for deletion as not notable. It is best to merge such articles into the County articles. --Bduke 07:09, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

agree, merge Chris 21:14, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I have done the merge. Scout campsites should be part of the County article, as should articles on Districts and Groups at least until the County article gets too large. --Bduke 23:11, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

After 2 years, this merge has essentially been reversed. I do not support thsi unless more about the village and the old hall are added. At present it is mainly about the Scout Camp and therefore shoudl be a redirect to here. It also badly needs references, as does this County article. --Bduke (talk) 23:27, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Merge of Scogui here
While discussion on this merge should be taking place here, there is actually discussion taking place at Talk:Scogui. Perhaps the debate should be completed there. --Bduke 00:55, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Notability
I have consulted with another editor - outside of Scouting. Assuming good faith, I'm afraid that I cannot see that these new sites fit in with Wikipedia as they appear effectively nothing more than a list of branches of The Scout Association. For further information on this please see the section Wikipedia is not a soapbox on What Wikipedia is not, notably the section on advertising. Even when open to Groups of all Associations these pages were of suspect standard, and closing them to independent Groups has not helped in any way.

I suggest returning them to their original format, a new format that allows all Scouting in a County to be reported, or, alternatively, deleted as inappropriate. -- DiverScout (talk) 19:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
