(This discussion is on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changes_in_immigrant_groups_extended_family_po…
)
Actually I don't think the topic is at all
appropriate for an
encyclopedia. It'd make a good essay, but I seriously doubt you'd see
such a title (or indeed any which start out "Changes in...") in, for
example, Britannica. For Wikipedia sometimes we get strange article
titles like this for what is really a subpage of another article, but
that doesn't seem to be the case here.
Nevertheless it would be possible to write a well-referenced article on
this topic in encyclopedic style and if we had such an article it would be
kept if brought up for AfD.
How would you
recommend we proceed?
Redirect to [[extended family]] (optionally merging if you think it's
worthwhile).
I don't think it's worthwhile, I think it's worthless. But why should we
have a redirect there? The title is, as you noted, ridiculously long and
clumsy so no-one is likely to type it in. And the article has no incoming
links. Shouldn't we just delete it?
In any case I realize that since you feel that the topic of the article is
inappropriate for Wikipedia this was not in fact a good example for the
discussion we were having :)
Thanks for taking a look!
