[edit] Merger proposal

The following discussion is archived. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

It has been suggested that National Recreation Trail, National Scenic Trail, National Historic Trail and National Trails System Act be merged into this article.

Close: No support for Merge. This proposal has been here since March. I'm concluding there is no support for merging these articles. -- Patleahy 16:57, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Oppose The NRT is a specific designation within the national trails system that is important to designate in a category. The nesting here is implicitly necessary to making accessible. – Freechild (BoomCha) 00:14, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge National Trails System Act, Keep Others: The only thing significant about the act is that it created the system so put it in the same article, with a redirect. Keep the others, they are about there different types of trails. -- Patleahy 02:15, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge from National Trails System Act

The following discussion is archived. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

Close: Merge: Since the only other person who expressed an opinion about the merges above supports this merge I am concluding it is uncontroversial and going ahead with it. -- Patleahy 18:39, 20 June 2007 (UTC)


I'm opening a discussion on merging just National Trails System Act into this article. I believe this proposal was lost in the previous multiple proposals.

Support (as nominator): The only thing significant about the act is that it created the system so put it in the same article. -- Patleahy 18:14, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Support: Great way to consolidate articles that don't need to exist without each other. These two are meant to be together. – Freechild (BoomCha) 18:29, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UK National Trails and U.S. National Trails System

I have proposed renaming this article. Please see Talk:National Trails#UK National Trails and U.S. National Trails System. Please add your opinions there rather than here so that the conversation happens in one place. Thanks -- PatLeahy (talk) 20:36, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
