I can't find any independent sources about this lodge [1] [2]. Fram ( talk) 15:50, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
I have added sources as noted in reason for page deletion and ask that the page now be granted RoyCrockford ( talk) 04:55, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
I disagree, *Merge would restrict the potential of similar articles being created, where each have their own distinct heritage and in turn would end in making Grand Lodge of British Freemasons in Germany long winded RoyCrockford ( talk) 07:37, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
I agree that my previous attempts were written in the wrong perspective and have no qualms against the them being consequently deleted; As you have already perceived, I am no expert at this. I also agree that time wasting achieves nothing but frustration and is ultimately what I am trying to avoid. I have been asked to create a page on behalf of the named lodge along with a future intent of creating more pages for the other lodges over time. If a "spin off" is not acceptable and a "merge" doesn't provide the requested outcome can you advise how I can move this forward? RoyCrockford ( talk) 08:22, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for the advice, I understand your point of view and will look into the best way incorporating it into the main page, as you say it is better to have something than nothing at all. As a side note disclosing my relationship was my first action, I have a great respect for the work that goes into Wiki and have no intent ruining it for myself or others. Thanks again RoyCrockford ( talk) 08:49, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
Update - I have added more references and, I'm not sure if this helps to Keep but, the page is a "Stub" to Wikipedia:WikiProject Freemasonry & Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history projects. I can and do live in hope! RoyCrockford ( talk) 05:58, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
After restructuring, rewriting and with extra sources added I believe this page warrants Keeping(only highlighting my initial vote here). As mentioned above, it provides the Lodge's connection to the military in Europe during & after the 2nd world war, it shows how it is an integral part within the world of freemasonry and helps build on providing a better picture of that organisation. Even if it is classed as a "stub" it is still a benefit to this encyclopedia. On a final point, there has been no other votes of "Delete" since the initial NFD has been posted and since the "Merge" vote was posted the page has been rewritten and restructured providing more meat to the page. Kind regards and still living in hope RoyCrockford ( talk) 08:21, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
