Talk:Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area

message: *This article seems very strange to me, and if I knew more about Turkey Mountain I would do some maintenance. It would be nice for it to discuss the bike trails and perhaps link to a map. I'll try to add some content once I know more. -Duplico 02:33, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I've merged Turkey Mountain inscriptions here, as the clear consensus at that article's  afd  was that it should not stay. Some people may object to the content here, so please discuss any major issues here or edit as you see fit. Aarghdvaark (talk) 02:31, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The merger turned out to be controversial and was reverted. However, mention of the petroglyphs predated the afd, so the merge was really about making these two articles consistent and then deleting Turkey Mountain inscriptions. The admin's  decision was simply to delete Turkey Mountain inscriptions, but that decision has no bearing on this article. See section below Petroglyphs.

replies: text: I am not trying to be difficult, but your rason for a merge was "merging with Turkey Mountain inscriptions - see that articles afd". And since the AfD closure did not agree to a merge, but just said Delete, then how can your merger hold? It looks like a premature attempt to enact something in an open AfD, and although I'm not saying you intended it, if we simply let this stand it would be a good way around an AfD.

replies: text: It didn't hold, it didn't stand. I thought, wrongly, a consensus had been reached. However, IRWolfie disagreed and reverted the merge. You say above you also saw it as a "premature attempt to enact something in an open AfD". But I respected that revert and didn't do anything else. I'm not arguing for my merger to hold, it didn't and I accept that. I'm simply pointing out the petroglyphs were mentioned on this article here before the afd. As far as I can see the deletion of Turkey Mountain inscriptions has nothing to do with what happens here, especially as any link between the articles has been broken by the deletion. A delete decision on one article does not mean it is open season on anywhere else that topic is mentioned. So can we forget about Turkey Mountain inscriptions and concentrate on this page?
