 * Update since neither the Wikiproject ND not anyoen else was willing to put any effort into these articles, I closed the list as Keep, and all golf courses as Redirect to their repsective communities. No action on the Association, as it was not marked with an AfD tag. ~ trialsanderrors 23:06, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

which fails WP:ORG as a subnational organization not the subject of multiple, independent reliable sources. JChap2007 01:38, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete all except Bully Pulpit Golf Course, King's Walk Golf Course and Riverwood Golf Course. No assertion of notability. All are of the form "The Golf Club is an 18-hole golf course located somewher. It measures x yards from the back tees." MER-C 03:15, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge all and redirect to the locality articles except Bully Pulpit Golf Course, King's Walk Golf Course and Riverwood Golf Course. This was my suggestion to the Project North Dakota guys and they accepted it see User talk:Alexwcovington. BlueValour 03:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge as above If that's what the North Dakota folks want, then that's no problem with me. Robovski 05:29, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Mer-C. Edison 05:48, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, bad faith nomination as this issue has already been addressed. WPND is working on redirecting the smaller articles, but it's slow going. I'm sorry we're not moving fast enough for you BV, but you're always welcome to help with the redirects if that's the case.  There is no reason to bring this up again. -- AlexWCovington  (talk) 06:47, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - I expect an apology. This AfD was by JChap2007. I simply drew attention to the earlier AfD and defended your articles by saying Merge. BlueValour 12:50, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - You have it; I misread the nomination, sorry.
 * And I did not know about the nomination of the one article nor that it had been "settled." I had seen this list this spring.  I nominated one golf course (whose name I cannot remember now), which was deleted.  Once I saw that went through I planned to nominate the whole list, but didn't get around to it until now.  If you want to merge the articles, fo for it.  Although including the length of the golf courses in a particular city in the article about that city might seem a little strange. JChap2007 17:54, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep for now. The process to merge the less notable courses with their relevant city articles is ongoing. Check out which courses I have already merged. There are clearly many more courses which can be merged with their city articles, but just give us a chance to debate amongst ourselves which courses we would like to try to keep and expand and give us a chance to merge more articles. --Matth e w UND (talk) 06:56, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - Regardless of what happens to the individual golf course articles (likely merger for most), I hope that we would be able to keep the list of golf courses. It could be greatly expanded and the NDGA article could be merged into it.  Having a comprehensive list of golf courses in the state would be a valuable asset. --Matth e w UND (talk) 17:31, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep the list only. As for the golf courses, only leave the major ones in their own articles. The rest of the golf courses should be deleted. WP:NOT a directory and has no content besides where is it and how many holes are there. We don't need such information on an encyclopedia. --Ter e nce Ong (C 08:00, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect all one/two liner courses and do it now! ND guys, you can un-redirect specific articles later, there's no reason to keep these stubs around in their present state.  Keep the list (I usually hate listcruft, but this seems reasonably well-defined and encyclopedic), Weak Delete for the org.  Xtifr tälk 10:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep North Dakota Golf Association (and note that some commentators may not have noticed it set off after the main list above). Keep the list, even more useful if others deleted than if not because it connects up course names and cities.  Keep Bully Pulpit and King's Walk.  If expanded, which could easily be done on the basis of coverage in various golf magazines, keep Red Mike (Links of North Dakota at Red Mike Resort), else delete and keep open for creation later. Keep Riverwood if expanded even a little bit. Despite surviving previous nomination,  Hawktree needs to be expanded now, immediately, else delete, since that vote was eight weeks ago and nothing has been done. Merge  Ray Richards Golf Course with the University, and any other specific courses not kept with cities.  Gene Nygaard 11:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Change first one, Redirect North Dakota Golf Association to the list, and include some info about it there. As a list, it was inferior, and as an article, not likely to ever have much.  Gene Nygaard 12:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete all, including the list. I don't see any real notability in any of these articles - Arnold Palmer's firm designs a lot of courses, and being named the "second best public golf course in North Dakota"? Come on! Out!!! If someone wants to add the info to the locality articles, that's fine, but I don't think they will suffer without it. --Brianyoumans 19:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge the golf course articles to articles about the locality as suggested above. No comment about the list.  JYolkowski // talk 23:39, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep this is an excellent list of ND golf courses. There is NO reason to delete them. Weatherman90 00:20, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per BlueValour. If the ND project has already decided that this makes sense, then we would need a good reason to reverse their opinion. Nothing in this discussion appears to rise to that level. Vegaswikian 07:01, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
