Merge from Longridge Scout Boating Centre

edit

Proposal to merge the information in the Longridge Scout Boating Centre article as a section of the Scouting in Buckinghamshire article and redirect the original article (Support, Oppose, Comment):

It's been a week since the last input on this matter - what is the next step? Horus Kol Talk 14:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Longridge has a long Scouting history that covers more than just Buckinghamshire. In fact if I remember correctly it was actually owened by a consotia of Countys (Bucks, Berks and Oxon?).

Also due to the location of the site it attracts local users from more than just Buckinghamshire.

I am sure over time the article will grow and reflect the history of this campsite for all Scouters - not just those in Bucks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 91.109.167.176 (talk) 13:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC).Reply


Notability

edit

I have consulted with another editor - outside of Scouting. Assuming good faith, I'm afraid that I cannot see that these new sites fit in with Wikipedia as they appear effectively nothing more than a list of branches of The Scout Association. For further information on this please see the section Wikipedia is not a soapbox on Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, notably the section on advertising. Even when open to Groups of all Associations these pages were of suspect standard, and closing them to independent Groups has not helped in any way.

I suggest returning them to their original format, a new format that allows all Scouting in a County to be reported, or, alternatively, deleted as inappropriate. -- DiverScout (talk) 18:56, 1 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
