[edit] New Zealand Branch Merge

As the The Heraldry Society (New Zealand Branch) is a branch of the original Heraldry Society, I think that it ought to be merged into the main article for the Heraldry Society. Just as the various branches of the Royal Heraldry Society of Canada do not have their own pages, neither should this branch. If there are no objections, I would gladly do the merging work.--dave-- 20:17, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

• I support this merge woleheartedly. The NZ branch is just that-a branch of the society. They should be merged with the main article.--Forlornandshorn 12:34, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
• I'm a member of the Council of the NZ Branch, and its webmaster. Although its name suggests that it is only a branch - and the name has been subject to considerable debate - we are actually a separate society. The members of the NZ Branch are no longer regarded as belonging to the parent society, and we don't receive the journal of the parent society. I would suggest that the entry should be separated, to reflect this reality, with a note added along the lines I've outlined above.Ncox 23:29, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• If this is the case, you can edit the article at The Heraldry Society (New Zealand Branch) to reflect the fact that it is a separate group. Currently it is simply a redirect to The Heraldry Society. In the meantime, it might be time to change the name of the Society for good to reflect the separation.--Eva ^bd 21:55, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
