Talk:Dartmouth Forensic Union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Merge
Most other clubs are in the Dartmouth College student groups article. This article doesn't seem to be getting much edit activity, and, unlike Dartmouth Broadcasting and Dartmouth College Marching Band, there doesn't seem to be any precedent for forensic unions to have their own articles. --└Smith120bh/TALK ┐ 05:51, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, I think there is a lot of precedent for forensic unions to have their own articles, for example: Category:Student debating societies. Schi 23:46, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- Since when is "edit activity" the criteria? Agree with Schi (although that cat contains other organizations, at least a dozen of those are single university debate programs). savidan(talk) (e@) 13:33, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Alrighty, I'll remove the merge tag. The reason I mentioned edit activity is not to treat it as "the criteria", but because of other Dartmouth articles. There's a class at Dartmouth which includes writing a Wikipedia article - I went through a couple hundred pages of search results for "Dartmouth College" a few months ago and dug out a few dozen such articles which were created by one person about some campus organization, and then hadn't seen a single edit for sometimes a year or two. Unmaintained articles that end up being factually wrong because of being very outdated are not good for Wikipedia, either. And there's plenty of precedent for merging minor organizations into the Dartmouth College student groups article. However, two people evidently have at least some eye on this article and it's apparently not as minor as I thought, so removing my tag. --└Smith120bh/TALK ┐ 17:40, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
