Talk:Ward Melville Fencing

Merge
Guy, this isn't notable enough a subject for a stand-alone article, as far as I'm concerned and as far as I read prevailing sentiment among editors generally for this sort of article. All you've done since the tag was added was to triple its length. If you DON'T merge it, it's likely to be put up for deletion and the decision of what to merge taken out of your hands, or even having the article deleted completely. So if I were you, I'd start figuring what important parts can be transferred to Ward Melville High School and what can be safely left behind. Disk space may be practically unlimited, but reader patience isn't, at least when it comes to extraneous detail. --Calton | Talk 06:39, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree with you that user patience is not unlimited, which is why I think that it should be a different article, so that people who just want to read about Ward Melville High School do not have to read about this. However, high school fencing on Long Island has a rich history, and has become very notable in recent years. I think that wikipedia is a good place to keep track of information about teams. Like you said, "Disk space may be practically unlimited, but reader patience isn't, at least when it comes to extraneous detail." This is why it should remain a seperate article. If people are interested enough, they can read it. If not, they can ignore it.Hithisishal 02:15, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
