AFD / Merger
editThere was an AFD of which the result was merge to HKETO. Yet there was never any discussion as to how the articles should be merged, and what materials should be retained and moved to the destination article. Please discuss before the merger and redirection actually take place. Thanks. 58.153.97.134 (talk) 01:19, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- other offices are mentioned on the main page, any salient points can be added directly to Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office. LibStar (talk) 01:20, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- The general trend was to create separate articles with their own pictures, just like all other official missions. 58.153.97.134 (talk) 01:29, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- not the outcome of the AfD. LibStar (talk) 01:30, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

- That doesn't grant you any liberty to disregard and discard all content from the source article. 58.153.97.134 (talk) 01:53, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- The outcome of the AFD was "merge and redirect", not a simple conversion to redirect. 58.153.97.134 (talk) 01:54, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
That doesn't grant you any liberty to recreate an article that was not kept in an AfD process. LibStar (talk) 01:55, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- I didn't recreate anything. I just expand and enrich upon existing materials. (Meanwhile please be reminded to use proper indents.) 58.153.97.134 (talk) 02:11, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
you tried to restore an article that did not have a keep outcome from an AfD. LibStar (talk)
- That was because no one had yet executed the merger operation back then. I didn't "tr[y] to restore it". I expand and enrich from existing materials. In comparison what you did was destructive. (Meanwhile please be reminded to use proper indents and capitalisation.) 58.153.97.134 (talk) 02:42, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
you tried to build it up as it was an article to be restored. not destructive and totally in line with a merge outcome. LibStar (talk) 02:45, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- Merging creates a redirect from the source page(s) to the destination page with your reasoning you would oppose every redirect in the history of WP. LibStar (talk) 02:47, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
