Proposed merger[edit]

List of public library systems in Georgia and Public Information Network for Electronic Services are largely redundant. There are only a couple paragraphs of text about PINES, with the rest of that article being a list of PINES library systems. The larger list includes all PINES libraries, plus only a few more. It would be easy to add the information for each system stating whether or not it is part of PINES (as has effectively already been done). LadyofShalott 02:46, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I just don't think the PINES page needs the entire list of member libraries on it. I saw someone else had basically copy and pasted the list from this page to that one and yesterday I just fixed the wikilinks on it but figured it wasn't necessary in the first place. I think both have merit to stand on their own feet though. People looking for information on PINES are not going to search for a page under this name, and people looking for a list of library systems in Georgia would never know to look under PINES. I'll go fix up the PINES page and remove the redundant list and perhaps that will work better? SEMMENDINGER (talk) 13:54, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated PINES pretty heavily and I think it stands on its own much better now, tell me what you think! SEMMENDINGER (talk) 15:58, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Any input @LadyofShalott:? SEMMENDINGER (talk) 13:50, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your expansion of PINES makes it much less redundant; it's not just two largely overlapping lists now. I'd be ok with withdrawing the merger proposal, except I see that there is no article for GPLS. I still wonder if it would make more sense to have all of this in one overarching article with that as the title. Or maybe there should still be a separate PINES article, but certainly GPLS deserves an article (which would of course point towards PINES and vice versa). I'm kind of thinking out loud here. LadyofShalott 01:24, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I've been thinking of making a GPLS page for a few months now so I agree with that. In response to the merger though, I think all pages would easily stand on their own. The List page stands on its own though as there are others made for the USA (see template at the bottom of the page). And I think PINES stands on its own because of its own history (including Evergreen, etc). I'll start working on a GPLS page shortly! SEMMENDINGER (talk) 01:51, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cool! OK, I'll take down the templates. LadyofShalott 02:51, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
