Talk:Lackawaxen Township, Pike County, Pennsylvania

Merger proposal

I propose that Lackawaxen,_Pennsylvania be merged into Lackawaxen_Township,_Pike_County,_Pennsylvania. The content for Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania is a stub and the Lackawaxen Township content is a full-blown article and by far more informative. CoffeeSweet 20:50, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Merge reversed, given objection by TheCatalyst31 at User talk:Klbrain#Lackawaxen Township. Regarding the merge, my view is still to support merge, on the grounds that the village is best discussed in the context of the township of the same name and of which it forms an important part with an intertwined history.

To clarify my objections, the township and the village are separate, and the township includes several other communities besides the village. There's source material that describes the history of the village (this book, for instance), so it can be expanded beyond a stub. While it's possible to cover every community in the township as part of the same article, that tends to make the township articles long and distracts from their main topic unless there really isn't much to say about the communities; it's the same reason we don't merge every township into the county article.

Bad link.
