Council info[edit]

Can any info be found about the Suwanee River, Gulf Coast, and Gulf Stream councils? I will work and see what I can find. Splamo 22:16, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As a member of the Gulf Stream Council, I can certainly attempt to help out... I'm relatively new to the Scouting WikiProject, so please tell me what info should be put down here, thanks. Watermellonman 19:54, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merges[edit]

Tipisa Lodge Merge[edit]

The following discussions are an archived debate. Please do not modify it.

Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

Oppose the merge of Tipisa Lodge. Instead the article should be strngthened and expanded. --evrik 16:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly Oppose the merger into the Scouting in Florida page because it is an article about a specific Order of the Arrow lodge within Florida. This Scouting in Florida page makes a good summary with links to all Scout parts/groups within the state. --Mtjaws 17:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

retagging for merge the Scouting WikiProject MoS says lodges go under Councils or states and are inherently non notable. Chris 03:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Please note: I removed the tag on 16 January 2007 after this sat without comment for a while. My vote is the same. --evrik

support there is little or no notable history on this reservation article, and the facilities information can easily be condensed to a couple of paragraphs. -- Horus Kol Talk 00:25, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose give the article the time and space it needs to grow. --evrik ^(talk) 17:56, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
support - Lodges go under Councils. Justinm1978 01:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
oppose this is an Order of the Arrow lodge and as such should be merged with that article instead, under the lodges subheading, and then given a small new mention in the page of its council, with a link leading to the OA.Tennekis 21:18, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment looks like there is no consensus, best action is to keep. --evrik ^(talk) 22:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Camps are an important part of local scouting history and carry a lot of notability to their areas. I see no reason to merge this article, but it could use expansion. Give it a chance to grow. Justinm1978 01:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment because of a lack of consensus we should keep. --evrik ^(talk) 22:31, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge of council articles[edit]

I propose to merge the following six articles on local councils into Scouting in Florida. All six have the same content:

a list of districts
a list of campsites (some including extensive lists of campsite features; this can be seen as "blatant advertising" --> WP:CSD G11)
a short description of the Order of Arrow lodge.

There are some issues with these six articles:

They are very generic and contain no individual information.
Most of them are lists, in some cases with extensive web-linking.
Reliable third-party sources are missing.
Advertising tone.
Five of the six articles nominated were recreated after a previous merge into Scouting in Florida.
