Merge here of 4th Halifax Highland Scout Troop / Scots Highland Company[edit]

It has been proposed (not by me) that this article on a Scout Troop be merged here. Individual Scout Troops are rarely notable enough to have their own articles and this troop does not appear to be an exception. I therefore support the merge. However the article on the troop is extremely long, containing much material that is simply not appropriate for an encyclopedia article. A merge would have to be after this material is cut back to a single paragraph. I am starting this discussion and hope that more people will express their views below. There is already some discussion elsewhere at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Scouting/Archive 2011#4th Halifax Highland Scout Troop / Scots Highland Company.

Support merge as above. --Bduke (Discussion) 00:48, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral at this time. I'm still thinking, but, I notice a large amount of primary source material in the article (for instance an interview mentioned as a source seems to have been conducted by the primary author of the article). It is interesting material but better suited as a full article for submission to a scholarly journal or a historical society journal. If we knew more about Scouting in general in Nova Scotia, we might have a better idea of this troop's position. --Erp (talk) 03:24, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom, and will archive the information to ScoutWiki site. DiverScout (talk) 20:39, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Is there anyone who objects to the scaling down of the article? I stumbled across it on the new page patrol backlogs and, as it seems to be a while since the article was created, I was thinking of helping it out. --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 21:13, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have added a brief paragraph on the Troop on Scouting and Guiding in Nova Scotia and I do not think anything more can really be said. I suggest it be moved to the ScoutWiki and then made into a redirect. I am too busy on wikibreak currentlky in UK to do it. --Bduke (Discussion) 08:50, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge or mention. The article does not demonstrate that the unit meets notability standards. ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 23:08, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This has not been resolved. The paragraph I added to Scouting and Guiding in Nova Scotia has stayed there. The notability concerns are still there. I propose to put this to AfD for deletion on my return home from holiday. --Bduke (Discussion) 20:35, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have proposed the deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/4th Halifax Highland Scout Troop Scots Highland Company. Note that I moved the name of the article in that process to remove a slash in the title, as this confused everything. I now support a delete but would accept a redirect. Please add your opinion at the AfD. --Bduke (Discussion) 03:33, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
