Here we have a bit of a problem. All evidence indicates that this was a hot springs resort, not a town. The problem is the last sentence of the article: "Gold Base, the international headquarters of the Church of Scientology, is located near Gilman Hot Springs." As the Gold Base article states, it and the former resort property are one and the same: it was purchased lock, stock, and barrel in 1978. My impression, regardless of the "History" section on the Sciento0logy facility, is that the resort wasn't terribly notable: I suspect the level of coverage is inherited from Scientology investigations. If people think otherwise, then the resort should have its own article and presumably this would redirect to that. I;m not keen on having this article redirect to Gold Base.

Merge to Gold Base. The resort is not so super notable that having a seperate article on its time before being converted to Gold Base makes sense. One thing, one article applies here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:49, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge selectively to Gold Base. Article does not meet GNG SIGCOV on its own, but selectively merging souced content to the appropriate place on the target article will improve the target article and make the content more visible and less fragmented for readers. // Timothy :: t | c | a 13:48, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Selective merge the non-duplicative content to Gold Base. With the shared history, it's best to have it all in a single place. Hog Farm _Talk 18:14, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
