[edit] Merges

[edit] Merge Indianhead Council in to Scouting in Minnesota

Oppose as the geographic subdivision includes "much of western Wisconsin. Its name comes from the shape of the Wisconsin-Minnesota border, which is said to resemble that of the head of an Indian." Sulfur 04:06, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Two issues-one, we do keep articles separate from the parent or root state if they are large and fact-filled (and by large I mean a good page or more). The Indianhead paragraph does not qualify in either sense, so here will be a good place for it to gestate into a good article, rather than a stub.

Next, _many_ Councils cross state boundaries, and we can't just make an exception because a council is in two states. Someone interested will seek the Council in both states. I will put a link at Scouting in Wisconsin to come back to this article. Chris 00:47, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge Many Point Scout Camp

Oppose let the article be and give it time to grow. --evrik ^(talk) 20:47, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
