[edit] Statistics of Aberdeen

Statistics of Aberdeen (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

It's a few tables with the average temperature and precipitation per month. Such data is better obtained from the local meteorological institute through external linkage, and is pretty much self-outdating and unmaintainable here. WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. >Radiant< 13:42, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

• Merge trimmed-down version of the tables into Aberdeen. Many major cities have a simpler "climate" table that includes temperature and percipitation averages, and there's no reason not to move that information over to the main article, but the bulk of this is fluff and WP:NOT encyclopedic.

• Original Contributer this data was moved from the Geography in Aberdeen originally which is where any merging should go to. Looking at it I agree a lot is indeed 'Fluff'. If you can give me some time, tomorrow I will cut out the irrelevant stuff out. Bobbacon 16:08, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

There's a fairly good precedent for putting the table under the "Climate" section - check any of the entries for major cities like London, Madrid, New York City etc. It seems to be standard practice for many US cities as well. For the sake of consistency it ought to be located there as well, rather than the Geography in Aberdeen article. Arkyan 16:38, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

• Merge full-content into Geography of Aberdeen, which covers geography, climate, and demographics for the city, under a new section titled "Statistics". The editors working on the Geography of Aberdeen article can best determine what information ought to be retained and what should be trimmed. -- Black Falcon 21:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
• Merge climate data to to Geography of Aberdeen. Perhaps the final two tables could be the foundation of a Demographics of Aberdeen fork. Caknuck 16:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
• Merge. I agree with User:Arkyan that the NYC method of handling climate might be best. There is no reason to keep this one around as a free-standing article. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. EdJohnston 20:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
