Proposed merger
I've proposed merging Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery into this article. I had in mind rationale # 3 for merging, under Merging. Which states "'There are several good reasons to merge a page ... Text: If a page is very short and is unlikely to be expanded within a reasonable amount of time, it often makes sense to merge it with a page on a broader topic.'" Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery's article is 6 years old, and 2 sentences long. And, coincidentally, relies for its ref on a url of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. The school itself merged into this school over 100 years ago.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:34, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

✅ There is actually no reason that it should've had a separate article to begin with. The Haz talk 02:06, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Disagree: I would propose expanding the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery article, the school did exist for over 50 years, over 30 of which it was separate from the proposed target. Give me a little time and I'll try to expand it; if it wasn't expanded, merger would be logical.--Milowent • hasspoken  14:20, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I have briefly worked on creating a history section in Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery --there are numerous sources I have cited and numerous more which could be cited. But it is already long enough to be kept.--Milowent • hasspoken  15:26, 25 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Oppose merge. The article is no longer a simple stub but a full article with legitimate reason to exist on its own.    D r e a m Focus  00:10, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
