Proposed merge of the Harvard gate articles

There are currently a bunch of stubs on Harvard gates, none of which individually have all that much to say about them. Indeed, most of the sources used to make a case for their (dubious, in some cases) notability discuss them as a group. Given this, per WP:PAGEDECIDE, it would make more sense to group them all together in a single List of Harvard University gates article. Sdkb ^talk 19:55, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You've commented on the sources used in the stubs, but have you done searches for each to determine if there's other sourcing to add to any of the entries? If there are other sources, I'd prefer to add "incomplete" tags than merge everything. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:05, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My merger nomination is per PAGEDECIDE, not because I think all the individual gates lack notability on their own. So it doesn't really matter if there are further sources available, unless there are so many sources available that full coverage of the gates would cause the list article to become overlong. And with due respect to the Crimson ego, that's not gonna happen. Sdkb ^talk 20:26, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've long thought that all the gates should be in one combined article -- I stubbed one years ago [1] and Another Believer has chipped in as well, and sometime between now and when we die perhaps we'll finish it. So bottom line, I'm fine with a merge (ego notwithstanding). E Eng 23:55, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge for all gates to the one article for short text and context. Klbrain (talk) 00:23, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
