Proposed Merge
Because there were objections when I did this unilaterally, instead I am going to open the discussion of this merge. I believe that because they have the same governance structure and that their employees operated under the CNA/NNOC label with very little distinction between the two, that they should be merged into one article. Also the NNOC article is lacking details which exist on the CNA page about NNOC. On top off all of this, the NNOC site is simply a subsite to the CNA site and appears to be simply a different names of the same organization. I'm sure that there is at least one person who disagrees with me so could you please explain the rational of keeping the two organizations, which are run by the same people and employ the exact same people and share a common website, in separate articles?

 * "their employees operated under the CNA/NNOC label with very little distinction between the two"


 * Sounds like you've got some personal history that's feuling your contributions. I'm inclined to be skeptical of you proposals and edits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.164.145.198 (talk) 23:09, 26 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I solicited input on this proposal from the other members of the Organized Labour WikiProject. Here's the first response, copied verbatim from the talk page:


 * I, too, think NNOC should be merged with CNA. NNOC is merely an organizing program of the CNA, and is not independent of it (CNA funds it, they have interlocking boards, CNA controls and staffs it, etc.). If there's a case to be made for NNOC having a separate article, then each division of every American union should get their own article, too. I'm not sure that that case can be made (do we really want an article on the UTU Research Dept., even if it got mainstream press coverage and passed notability standards?). But merge rules should be clearly followed and notability standards upheld, no matter what side a person comes down on. - Tim1965 (talk) 13:24, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I've been inclined to favor retaining separate articles; however, I am giving serious consideration to the arguments in support of merging. Cgingold (talk) 12:27, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

WP:NURSE priority review
As part of a review of all nursing wikiproject articles, I have changed this article's importance to low per WikiProject Nursing/Assessment. I have also added stub class. If you disagree, please leave a note here so we can discuss it. Cheers, Basie (talk) 03:55, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
