Merge of Oxford University Scout and Guide Group into this page
I would suggest this merger not take place, at least until there is information on other scouting in Oxfordshire. Otherwise the result will be a mistitled article. I'll try to write this page in the future. Perhaps a merger could be reconsidered at a later date. -- AlmostReadytoFly 09:13, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
I fully support the writing of a good article on Scouting in Oxfordshire, but I would still oppose a merge as proposed. The Oxford University Scout and Guide Group is notable outside Oxfordshire just as Oxford University is notable outside Oxfordshire. -- Bduke 12:45, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to remove the merge tag. Merging to a redlink makes no sense. We can return to the discussion once the article is written. -- Bduke 00:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
I have consulted with another editor - outside of Scouting. Assuming good faith, I'm afraid that I cannot see that these new sites fit in with Wikipedia as they appear effectively nothing more than a list of branches of The Scout Association. For further information on this please see the section Wikipedia is not a soapbox on Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, notably the section on advertising. Even when open to Groups of all Associations these pages were of suspect standard, and closing them to independent Groups has not helped in any way.
I suggest returning them to their original format, a new format that allows all Scouting in a County to be reported, or, alternatively, deleted as inappropriate. -- DiverScout ( talk) 19:08, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
