[edit] Merge of Enfield District Scout Band
- Support merge. The band article says probably says all it can about this topic and this County article is hardly too long. In fact this article needs a lot more detail of just this kind about a band. --Bduke 21:41, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support merge. per above.Rlevse 21:42, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- support merge per nom. Chris 22:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Support - Bduke said it all really Horus Kol Talk 11:34, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

- Comment: If the merger goes ahead, then this article's information would not be out of place in Girlguiding London and South East England as well. Kingbird 22:30, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. I am the original author of this stub, I agree it should be merged into the GLN County article. However I am very new to editing Wikis, so could one of you guys do it? --JazHaz 12:45, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Jaz - we'll probably give it a little longer to see if there are any further comments, but yeah, we'll be happy to handle the merge if that is the consensus. Horus Kol Talk 17:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
I have done the merge. Horus had already added the content to the this article. --Bduke 11:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Notability
I have consulted with another editor - outside of Scouting. Assuming good faith, I'm afraid that I cannot see that these new sites fit in with Wikipedia as they appear effectively nothing more than a list of branches of The Scout Association. For further information on this please see the section Wikipedia is not a soapbox on Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, notably the section on advertising. Even when open to Groups of all Associations these pages were of suspect standard, and closing them to independent Groups has not helped in any way.
I suggest returning them to their original format, a new format that allows all Scouting in a County to be reported, or, alternatively, deleted as inappropriate. -- DiverScout (talk) 19:02, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
