I removed the proposed deletion tag since the case is borderline notable. Some sources with a good level of focus on it:
Urve ( talk) 08:28, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
I worked a bit to expand it, but then realized that this article is entirely redundant of United States v. Washington (a featured article). The cases were combined by the federal court, so as I understand it, the Belloni and Boldt decisions are both as much part of one as the other. So, I think this should be redirected to that article. It's possible some of my additions might be worth merging, but I'd proceed with a lot of caution before expanding a FA. - Pete Forsyth ( talk) 19:55, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
The United States v. Washington article (a featured article since promotion in 2015) already covers Sohappy, as well as the Puyallup cases, in greater depth than we have here, as essential context to that case's ruling (the Boldt Decision, referred to in this article). I propose that it's better for an encyclopedia to discuss related granular items (like specific court cases) in a single article, in order to explore interconnections and context more effectively. The reader is certainly better able to learn about Sohappy from that article than from this one, and I expect that will always be the case. So, I'd propose to merge and redirect this article. It's possible we can find a few nuggets from the sources Urve and I have unearthed, and improve the FA a little, but those are small details vs. this more significant decision, so I thought I'd put the merge up for discussion first. - Pete Forsyth ( talk) 19:42, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
