Talk:Caldecotte

Merger proposal

I propose that Caldecotte be merged into Walton, Milton Keynes. As with Browns Wood and Walnut Tree, Milton Keynes, Caldecotte is not sufficiently significant so as to warrant a separate Wikipedia entry and therefore should be treated like other MK grid squares and merged into the civil parish article. The lake could warrant a new section in the article. 30gl (talk) 17:26, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

I support this proposal, after some thought. If the original Caldecotte Village had not been deserted long before MK was even thought of, I might have been more hesitant. I assume that you are proposing only to move the content, but leave the original article title extant, containing only a #REDIRECT to Walton, Milton Keynes#Caldecotte.--John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:38, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

NB by the way that there is a Wikipedia protocol for moving content, you can't just copy/paste. I've forgotten where it is documented but if you can't find it, then a helpme on your talk page will bring someone who will tell you where it is.--John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:38, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

I'd read this help content on the Wikipedia docs. Admittedly, Caldecotte was the area out of the three I considered for merger that did take the most thought, however, being a local resident, I can attest to the fact that there is nothing but modern Milton Keynes development there (it will, however, have the largest section if I go ahead with the merger after hearing more opinions as I have realised that trivial items such as listing of amenities in Walnut Tree (which I admittedly contributed to!) are no longer needed).--30gl (talk) 16:34, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
