Merge Indianhead Council in to Scouting in Minnesota

 * ''The following discussions are an archived debate. Please do not modify it.

Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.


 * Oppose as the geographic subdivision includes "much of western Wisconsin. Its name comes from the shape of the Wisconsin-Minnesota border, which is said to resemble that of the head of an Indian." Sulfur 04:06, 13 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Two issues-one, we do keep articles separate from the parent or root state if they are large and fact-filled (and by large I mean a good page or more). The Indianhead paragraph does not qualify in either sense, so here will be a good place for it to gestate into a good article, rather than a stub.


 * Next, _many_ Councils cross state boundaries, and we can't just make an exception because a council is in two states. Someone interested will seek the Council in both states. I will put a link at Scouting in Wisconsin to come back to this article. Chris 00:47, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Merge Many Point Scout Camp

 * Oppose let the article be and give it time to grow. --evrik (talk) 20:47, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * comment it fails notability-it is not a Treasure Island or a Brownsea. Chris 03:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It passes the google test. --evrik (talk) 17:52, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * support --Gadget850 ( Ed) 13:49, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * support there is not enough notable history for the article to stand on its own -- Horus Kol Talk 00:28, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose leave it alone, give it some growth time. Merging will not solve the problem, just make the page look worse. Justinm1978 05:29, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't see a consensus to merge. --evrik (talk) 23:19, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose There remains a lot of information that could be added to make the Many Point article more useful and which would be out of place in a braoder article such as this. --BenFranske 19:40, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment because of a lack of consensus we should keep. --evrik (talk) 14:08, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
