The result was merge‎ to Council Service Territories as a sensible ATD. National Service Territories is already a redirect to the same target. Owen× ☎ 12:38, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because, it's guidebook like. Per deletion policies 13 & 14: "Any other use of the article, template, project, or user namespace that is contrary to the established separate policy for that namespace". That policy would be WP:NOTAGUIDE

"Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia"

This article is basically internal documentation and not unlike an article like Safeway region, or Best Buy Districts sourcing to their own documents of internal interest only. At best it's a re-direct, but I'm wondering the necessity of having so many of them that maybe on the verge of becoming keyword stuffing. Graywalls (talk) 03:08, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - Could this be merged into Boy Scouts of America? Eopsid (talk) 15:06, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is 100% primary sourced, so not suitable. Graywalls (talk) 15:10, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. However, the redirects for the old regions (i.e. Central Region (Boy Scouts of America)) should be retargeted back to List_of_councils_(Boy_Scouts_of_America). Walsh90210 (talk) 17:53, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge The article doesn't demonstrate standalone notability, but I don't see the issue with using a primary source to briefly cover the regions in the Boy Scouts of America article. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 16:14, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's already there. Boy_Scouts_of_America#National_Service_Territories So perhaps, del-n-redir might do? Graywalls (talk) 01:06, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As per Graywalls. Axad12 (talk) 18:03, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to National Service Territories, which has superseded the regions ("Regions were replaced by National Service Territories in June 2021"). The old regions can be displayed in the new territories article. Per WP:PRESERVE policy. -- GreenC 04:03, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to National Service Territories. It makes sense to merge this article with that of its successor; the two should not be standalone from one another. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 06:52, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
