Merger proposal
[edit]There are separate articles on Deady Hall and Villard Hall as well as this article on the combo, "Deady and Villard Halls, University of Oregon". I suggest merging the two separate ones into this combo article. This combo article is needed to describe the U.S. National Historic Landmark which is the combo. The separate ones have to carry repetitive information, and could best be merged in here. If they are not merged, this combo article must be retained. doncram (talk) 10:36, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose merge. Buildings have long been separate entities with separate histories. The only reason there is a combo article is because it was recently created, and I don't feel it is necessary. Who says the combo article must be retained? Make the combo article a soft redirect to the other two articles instead, if absolutely necessary. Katr67 (talk) 21:53, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- What i meant about the combo article must be retained, is that it is needed to describe the National Historic Landmark, which was awarded to the combination of the two. Each one of them is a Registered Historic Place on its own, and each is part of the NHL, but neither separately is an NHL. It seems to work out better, in systematically describing NHLs nation-wide, that we create an article about any such combinations which are created in NHL designations. One way this works properly is that only the combination article gets the category tag "National Historic Landmarks in Oregon", as only the combo not any one part is actually an NHL, and that keeps the number of items in the category matching up to the number of NHLs in the state. I could probably describe other ways in which having the combo article works and is needed, if necessary.
- I don't want to push a merger if there are people who oppose, who want to keep separate articles on the separate buildings. I just thought it was possible that one combined article could cover the two individual buildings and also describe the combination of the two of them. I am fairly indifferent, though, between having 1 merged article or having 3 separate articles as it is now. I just would oppose attempting to go back to having just 2 articles on the 2 buildings, with no proper place to "be" the combination, and to hold the NHL-level designation information and category tag and so on.
- So, Katr67, if you want to keep the separate articles, that is fine by me. It is okay by me either if you wish to delete the merger proposals, or if you wish to leave it open for more discussion. By the way, though, probably it would be helpful in both separate building articles to add the NRHP Inventory/Nomination document that is the main source i added to the combo article, as it provides extensive detail on each of the buildings. doncram (talk) 07:42, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
