Merging

It seems to be redundant to have both this Summersville Dam article and the Summersville Lake article. I think it would be best to consolidate this information as a new section Dam section on the lake page.Brian Powell (talk) 19:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As the creator of both articles, I would not object to the move as proposed, as long as no information was lost, the photo of the dam was included in the article, and there is no prejudice against recreating an expanded article on the dam at some point in the future. y'am'can (wtf?) 21:58, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds OK to me. I'm just thinking that the dam itself doesn't have enough information on its own, at least at present, to really merit its own article. It was also somewhat confusing why this lake had a separate page for its dam while none of the other lakes in West Virginia did.

I'll try to look at merging the articles when I have some time.Brian Powell (talk) 02:42, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The merge has been completed. Brian Powell (talk) 16:54, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
