[edit] Merge of 100th Newcastle Scouts
- Merge. Individual Groups or Troops are not normally notable enough for an article and there is nothing in this article that suggests notability. --Bduke 21:57, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Merge I agree with Bduke. Jt spratt 22:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Merge There is nothing in this article that suggests anything beyond self-promotion Horus Kol 10:09, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
I have made it into a redirect. I could see nothing to actually add to the County article. If anyone thinks there is something notable, please go back to an earlier version and copy it into Scouting in Northumberland. --Bduke 23:32, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- nah - the only thing worth carrying over was the link to the groups homepage, and that's already in the article... can't see anything else. Horus Kol 00:12, 21 February 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) 19:07, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
