Merger proposal[edit]

I am ambivalent about merging the Drum Tower stabbings article to Bachman: I would support the idea simply because the potential for development is close to zero. On the other hand, I don't want to do anything to encourage trolls or others to believe that they will get their way if they disrupt enough. Ohconfucius ¡digame! 03:40, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I still believe it is a terrible idea. Bachman was not directly involved in the incident herself and much of the info that was contained in the 2008 Beijing Drum Tower stabbings article before it was changed to a redirect [1] has not been copied over to this article (not that it would even be relevant here). For now I am going to undo the redirect to this page from 2008 Beijing Drum Tower stabbings, if a merger is to be carried out it needs to be done properly and with consensus, which is unlikely to occur as the only users requesting any change are disruptive editors with the use of sockpuppets.

I restored the merge suggestion tag on this article. I understand you do not want to hand this give a victory, but I am not going to deal with monthly move request. I just hope you all see my point of view. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 15:56, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The merge is a completely illogical choice, this article is at best loosely connected. There has been repeated community consensus for leaving the stabbings article as it is so there is an argument for simply closing/refusing any future move requests as soon as they are made - it should certainly not be considered at all unless an actual alternate title is suggested.

  • Actually, the event would not have been notable enough for WP but for the backdrop of the olympics, involving an athlete's family. I think a merge would make sense as I said above. Ohconfucius ¡digame! 04:08, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
