Proposed merge of Home Colony into Home, Washington edit

Latest comment: 2 years ago6 comments4 people in discussion

CLOSED

Reject merging of these article(s) as per CONSENSUS. There is none supporting a change to the current status of the articles. I would suggest that some content should be exchanged between the two articles through the course of normal editting to better develop the scope of each. No merge.

Same subject, but there isn't enough content in the fork to justify a standalone article Sounder Bruce 01:14, 27 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

The census-dedicated place is independently notable and the colony has entire books written about it. That's plenty for standalone articles. czar 01:50, 27 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Support There is no purpose served having a small article that is basically a split of the proposed Target article that adds no additional insight or content. The target (Home, Washington) has a more in-depth view of the whole Colony experiment and area history. It actually needs more information about notable non-colony events, if such are available. Nothing is gained by fracturing this interesting subject into two rather duplicative articles. Even though the place-name may be more modernized, it is still the same place, with the same history. These two should be merged. GenQuest ^"scribble" 13:19, 25 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
There are books written about the colony. There is no such coverage about the census-designated place. We keep articles for "populated, legally recognized places" per WP:GEOLAND even if they are small, but that does not change the fact that there is more than enough content to warrant a separate article on the colony. czar 15:25, 25 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
