Proposed merge of 1906–1909 team pages[edit]

I propose to merge the following articles into the "1906 Florida Gators football team":

1. "1907 Florida Gators football team"‎;

2. "1908 Florida Gators football team‎"; and

3. "1909 Florida Gators football team‎."

My reasons for this proposed merger are straight-forward: (a) these are orphan articles; (b) they provide no information that is different than the article into which I propose to merge them; and (c) they do not fit the established pattern of Florida Gators football season lists by decades, from 1910 through 1989 (e.g., "Florida Gators football, 1950–1959"). There is a movement afoot to delete individual season stub pages as "non-notable," but the decade pages seem to be surviving quite nicely as lists. After merging these four Florida gators season articles, I would then propose to move the merged page to a newly created name, "Florida Gators football, 1906–1909," consistent with the decades that follow. If no one objects by April 30, 2010, I will implement the proposed article merge. If anyone has any thoughts on this topic, please contact me by email or on my user talk page. Thanks.

Sounds okay to me. ~ Richmond96 t • c 00:39, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The merger of these four pages has been implemented, and the resulting article has been moved to "Florida Gators football, 1906–1909," and the four original single-season pages have been retasked as redirect pages. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:34, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
