[edit] Proposed merge in of Giorgio Carbone

• Oppose - merging a notable person into the locality article is, simply, bad editing. If this is done then, logically, we should eliminate all bio articles by merging them into their places of residence. Whatever may be thought of the guy's claims he is the subject of several non-trivial sources thus meeting WP:N. In effect, this is a backdoor delete; the correct route to get a consensus would be an AfD. BlueValour 03:43, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
• I agree that this is a backdoor delete - the same thing has been attempted with a number of micronation articles recently, including Principality of Seborga, Independent State of Aramoana and one other the name of which currently escapes me. However, I don't believe Giorgio Carbone has any notability outside the micronation of Seborga (as opposed to the Italian town of the same name), and so I feel the best option is to merge his bio into Principality of Seborga. --Gene_poole 03:50, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
• Merge -- I would agree with BlueValour that merging a notable person into a locality article is a bad idea, but the problem is that this person is not notable for anything except the locality. DreamGuy 06:27, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
• Merge into Principality of Seborga, which should be retained as an independent article, per my comments at Talk:Principality of Seborga. PubliusFL 20:42, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
• Merge - Into Seborga, as per Wikipedia:Notability (people). Hiberniantears 22:20, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment' - if there was to be any merge it would be to Principality of Seborga not Seborga (you merge to the most relevant article). BlueValour 16:00, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

• Comment 2 - Both, the principality, and Giorgio should be merged into Seborga. Hiberniantears 13:33, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose - Would support a merge of Giorgio Carbone into Principality of Seborga (we had Paddy Roy Bates similarly merged until it was pointed out that he is known for other things), but merging either of them into Seborga would be implying that Seborga and Principality of Seborga were synonymous, it would be very confusing. -- Jao 12:34, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
