Merge with SDDOT

[edit]

The "History of the South Dakota Department of Transportation" found here indicates that the subject of this article is an early name for the branch of the South Dakota State government now known as the South Dakota Department of Transportation. Accordingly, the content of this newly-created article should be merged with the pre-existing article on the SDDOT. Cbl62 (talk) 00:11, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was the one who created this article. I think it is fine to merge if the merge target article can include the list of historic works. If that list instead would be split out immediately as "List of works of ...", as someone did with Colorado comparables, then I would prefer to keep the older name with its list of works created under that name. As far as I know there are no historic works created under the new name. --doncram 13:01, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The merge target does include the list of NRHP bridges. Such a list of historic structures is as appropriate there as it would be in an article about the agency's old name. Note that 7 of the bridges are called "South Dakota Dept. of Transportation Bridge No. ..." I'm not familiar with the Colorado situation you referenced, so it's hard to respond to what happened there. Cbl62 (talk) 20:26, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
