the first AfD decision was that this and related articles were to be merged, 3 1/2 years ago, this was never done(the mergers were only completed for 3 small articles out of a total of 6 articles on this same topic) and there continues to be pushback on completing the mergers. Standalone, it is not notable and Scouting WPMOS does not support articles of this nature. Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 15:58, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • merge this and 1st Kandy Dharmaraja Scout Group to Lake View Park International Scout Centre-It is highly unlikely that any "Old Scouts Association" will be notable. I do not think there are any. It is also unlikely that articles about Scout Groups or Scout Troops will be notable, although there are a few. 1st Kandy Dharmaraja Scout Group is the article about the Scout Group that these old Scouts come from. It also is not notable. What has been considered notable is the running of several international camps that have been mentioned in the press. However, these events are help at Lake View Park International Scout Centre which is owned by this Scout Group. So we actually have three articles all related to one Scout Group. The sources are essentially talking about this camp and the events held there. There should be only one. I suggest that we keep Lake View Park International Scout Centre and merge the other two there. This was proposed in the earlier AfD. There have been several attempts to clarify this issue, but they have all been supported by editors with no relationship to this Group and opposed by the local editors. --Bduke (Discussion) 01:00, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
