Talk:Clifton College Register

I don't know why Duncharris keeps putting a redirect to the school page and so killing the page - if you don't like the page mark it vfd - but don't keep putting a silly redirect on. The article has something to say - a redirect doesn't. As an OC I find this page useful and interesting A curate's egg 4 July 2005 07:03 (UTC)

Clifton College Register

This is a book about Clifton College. This page however duplicates Clifton College. All encyclopedic information, (a list of famous old boys, and all headmasters) are already included the Clifton College article. The rest of the page is a short description of Clifton College (duplicating what is already in Clifton College) and some subtrivia about who was the 100th pupil listed in the book. I was going to say redirect to Clifton College, but since there's a guard on it I'm going to vote delete. Dunc|☺ 4 July 2005 13:14 (UTC)

• Merge, no redir. This isn't a book about the college, it's a record of its inhabitants. Nonetheless, I vote to merge with Clifton College, but not redirect. --Alex12 3 4 July 2005 13:26 (UTC)
• Merge or Keep - redirect is not right. A curate's egg 4 July 2005 14:14 (UTC)
• Merge as per above. Jaxl 4 July 2005 14:20 (UTC)
• Merge. -- Necrothesp 4 July 2005 18:35 (UTC)
• Merge - keeping the redirect is harmless (isn't it?). -- Joolz 4 July 2005 20:58 (UTC)
• Merge. Merging any substantial information and deleting the article isn't an option under the GFDL because of the substantial editing history. I must confess I don't understand what is supposed to be achieved by deleting an article after merging in any case, unless there were a problem with the name, which there isn't in this case. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 5 July 2005 00:08 (UTC)
• Merge as per the others; redirect is not right, though it is interesting to note that John Cleese went there. --Idont Havaname 5 July 2005 00:43 (UTC)
• Merge. Keeping the redirect is required by the GFDL to preserve the full article history. --Carnildo 6 July 2005 20:32 (UTC)
