Not unique. Every state has these. Presidentman talk · contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 20:20, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable, what have they done to stand out from similar entities in other states? --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 20:54, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Some of these units are bigger than other entire states. How game is managed is very much a hot button issue up here, but despite that I am not certain this deserves a stand-alone article. It could be merged into Alaska Department of Fish and Game or some,other appropriate target though. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:35, 29 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment could someone take the time to expand the article to explain what these things are? Arbitrage trades? geographical units? squads of people? Neither of the refs mentions these by name. Stuartyeates (talk) 18:28, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Redirect to Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Merge if necessary.    Th e S te ve   08:44, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect and merge per Thesteve. I searched adn.com for relevant articles about (rather than just mentioning) game management units, and I didn't find much of anything. (Adn.com is basically the newspaper of record for Alaska, so that's where you'd expect anything relevant to be.)  I don't think there could be ever be much more content than a statement that these exist, plus a map and names. Calliopejen1 (talk) 01:32, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge I have added some explanation as requested above as well as an external link to a map of the unit boundaries. I think all of this content could be easily accomodated at the rather brief article on ADF&G. The differing regulations in the various units and subunits seems pretty critical to understanding how they regulate such a vast area. Hinters are expected to know what area they are in and if their permit is still valid should they move into the next unit while pursuing game.  Beeblebrox (talk) 19:38, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment No opinion regarding deletion here, but I must ask the nominator why it is relevant that every state has one? Every state has a capital city, but does that take away the notability there? Am I missing something?  Automatic Strikeout  ( T •  C ) 19:38, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I have to agree, the nom is pretty weak and does  not cite any policy-based reason for deletion as well as ignoring the obvious idea of merging. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:21, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
