Merged[edit]

The following content was moved from the talk page of the article on the gold dredge, now moved here:

Merger, or moving the page, or something[edit]

As I pointed out at the AFD, although multiple sources were unearthed they say almost nothing of substance other than how to find this thing. Therefore the article is doomed to remain a brief stub. Several merge or move options were discussed but no consensus was reached. The options brought up at AFD were:

Merge to Chatanika, Alaska
Merge to article on Chatanika Gold Camp, which is odd because that article does not yet exist
Move to Historic Fairbanks Exploration Company Gold Camp and begin a real article on that subject

This is what I hate about AFD. All these folks rush in to defend this article while it at AFD, but nobody gives a shit after and this article sits here in this sorry state with only the guy who wanted to delete it apparently still paying any attention.

Dredge destroyed by fire[edit]

I'm just a lurker and am uncomfortable attempting to edit as yet, but I thought I'd mention this. The dredge was destroyed by fire on 8/3/13. http://www.newsminer.com/news/local_news/historic-chatanika-dredge-destroyed-by-fire-nd-fire-reported-at/article_f5a26eb6-fccf-11e2-bac2-001a4bcf6878.html Bugpoetry (talk) 16:04, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
