Talk:Straight line mission

Proposed merge
This article hinges on GeoWizard popularising this activity; I see no reason why this stub can't be merged into the GW article. The article implies that other people who have done these missions have been inspired by GW, which is something that can be addressed in the GW article rather than this stubby content fork. As things stand, it doesn't seem worthy to have a standalone article. MIDI (talk) 21:02, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I support a merge. The only issue is that this article doesn't mention GW, meaning the challenge is at least partially notable outside of his attempts. But I don't see this article getting expanded easily with the current sources, and would probably be best included as part of the GeoWizard article. --Cerebral726 (talk) 21:10, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I do not support a merge. The reason I removed the redirect from this page to GW is that the straight line mission has taken on an importance apart from GW, as the Cairngorms article shows and as scoremyline.com shows. --Chuma369 (talk) 21:19, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
 * The scoremyline.com website does not act as a reliable source, so adding it in without a secondary source makes it at least somewhat promotional and certainly WP:OR. Therefore that leaves only the Guardian article and the BBC Cairngorms article, which seems hardly enough to meet WP:GNG--Cerebral726 (talk) 13:27, 9 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Support for now, given the extent to which coverage focuses on GeoWizard, without prejudice against future recreation if the sport continues to grow beyond him. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 18:09, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Support not convinced of independent notability for this article. Like Sdkb, I would not be opposed to a future split if required. Ganesha811 (talk) 17:25, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Proposed Split
I was looking for somewhere to read about / populate a table of attempted and complete "straight line missions".

It seems like the page for this has been merged with one for a single YouTube channel. I don't see the logic in the continual association of a topic with its popularizer/inspiration.

Can this please be split again so one can read about the activity and look up previous attempt locations, routes, and persons. Fadaberry (talk) 01:08, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
