Single Action Mounted Shooting[edit]

No evidence that this association/society is notable. No non-local coverage, and local coverage is mostly in the context of mentioning local events. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:22, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, into Cowboy Mounted Shooting. I proposed this merger yesterday, before this nomination for deletion. In my opinion Single Action Mounted Shooting does meet the Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, since it "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", and so the article should not be deleted. But, I believe the general sentiment of several editors who have been editing the Single Action Mounted Shooting article is that it should be merged, which would mean that the article will end up as a redirect anyway. — Mudwater^(Talk) 23:49, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: Cowboy Mounted Shooting is a real sport, and is of more than local interest. I recommended the original merge with the Cowboy Action Shooting article, which contained a subsection on mounted shooting. The merge proposal seemed to draw absolutely no interest from anyone other than the lead editor of the SAMS article, who opposed the merge. So, to be fair, there were only two people who really cared at all. And I don't really care all that much, so it sort of died from lack of interest. But I think this is an elegant solution to the notability problem. Montanabw^(talk) 00:23, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Single Action Mounted Shooting is a corporation's name. you are going to redirect a corporation's NAME into a SPORT website? the Sport is called Cowboy Mounted Shooting and it already has an article that I created with content from this article. This corporation's article is of no value. I already created and merged the content to the new Cowboy Mounted Shooting article. If THAT article is to be merged - I have no opinion on the matter. This Article's remaining organization notes are unimportant. HowesR1 (talk) 01:22, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge It is not unheard of to have an org redirect to the type of activity the org is involved in. Contents of the org article that might be useful can be merged into the activity article ++Lar: t/c 15:04, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Either solution works for me. I favor keeping the redirect just for ease of searching should others not know which name to use. Montanabw^(talk) 22:26, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
