Demographics of New England

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Page is an exact copy of New England. It has the exact same images and text verbatim as the main article. I redirected the page there, but a person who has a chronic habit of improperly splitting articles without discussion undid that. Not a single page links here and the full text exists elsewhere, so it should be deleted/redirected and salted. Reywas92 Talk 19:40, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect It seems to be an integral part of the mother article which is not so large as to need to have sections spun out and I see no reason for doing so. Drawn Some (talk)
 * Delete per nom. I do not believe this would be a particularly popular search term so redirect not required. Quantpole (talk) 20:49, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * This is our common and usual naming convention for articles such as this. Uncle G (talk) 23:56, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Special:PrefixIndex/Demographics of shows that this should not be salted if deleted. This is the common form for summary style demography spin-out sub-articles, and such an article for New England in the future should not be prohibited simply because we might decide today that we have not yet reached the point at which an article should be spun out.

 * You're right; a salt is not required. I was a little afraid this person could continue to redo the split without consensus. But so far, there's no need to spin it out at all, and I think a different section would be first. Reywas92 Talk 01:51, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect Do not salt as per Uncle G. Edward321 (talk) 04:19, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect as plausible search term. Protect if the creator continues to undo the redirect without discussion. - Mgm|(talk) 09:11, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect - I'd use that search term. Bearian (talk) 23:44, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
