This name is probably not correct[edit]

I think this article should be titled "Whitewater Formation" and should be described as a formation in Indiana and Ohio. See G.P. Wahlman (1992). "Middle and Upper Ordovician symmetrical univalved mollusks (Monoplacophora and Bellerophontina) of the Cincinnati Arch region". Geological Survey Professional Paper: O18. doi:10.3133/PP1066O. ISSN 0096-0446. Wikidata Q61047072.. That article suggests that formation previously named as Whitewater Formation in Kentucky have been renamed Bull Fork Formation. Requested move below.

Requested move 4 November 2019[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

It was proposed in this section that Lower Whitewater be renamed and moved to Bull Fork Formation.

Procedural close. The current page title has been redirected to the existing target article, so this became a malformed request (redirects cannot be current titles in RMs). Kudos to editors for your input, and Happy Publishing! (nac by page mover) P. I. Ellsworth, ed. ^put'r there 12:51, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Trilotat: the article for the Bull Fork Formation already exists and has an image. Given that this article has no content, shouldn't it simply be made a redirect to that one? Also no-one reads these stub talk pages so you're very unlikely to get a response from anyone other than me, so it's best to be bold and simply just move/merge the articles.

@Hemiauchenia: Posted reply on my talk page because I could use some teaching on "move/merge". Trilotat (talk) 17:54, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
