Talk:Martin Ferguson (politician)

message: While I have expanded the one sentence stub of Ferguson Left, I cannot see any rationale for a separate article, hence I have proposed a merger.  Another possible redirect from Ferguson Left would be an article on Labor factions.  Any views?--A  Y  Arktos 23:37, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Potential Expulsion from the Australian Labor Party 

message: I propose that Ferguson Left be merged into Martin Ferguson. I think that the content in the Ferguson Left article can easily be explained in the context of Martin Ferguson, and the Martin Ferguson article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Ferguson Left will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. -- Aronzak (talk) 11:17, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: *It's a stub article that has only two paragraphs and a sentence, and only two refs, one of which is a dead link, with nearly all the pages that link to it using Template:Australian Labor Party. Currently the Ferguson Left article dosen't meet notability guidelines, with only two references. -- Aronzak (talk) 13:14, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

text: *I would support that. Just seems bizarre these tags have been here for so long, if the issue is so important. Maybe nobody close to the subject wants to let the public know how it works, like a sausage factory. -- Aronzak (talk) 21:01, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: *This is the kind of subject on which the vast majority of significant coverage is going to be in sources like books and journals. I won't be at a major library any time very soon, but can add it to my list next time I'm at one. Frickeg (talk) 07:43, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: *I also want to make explicitly clear that I oppose this. The coverage of this topic in reliable sources is abundant, and it needs work, not merging. The Drover's Wife (talk) 04:05, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: *I will make that explicit too: it would be a less bad result than merging to Ferguson's article, but still a bad result. Frickeg (talk) 07:50, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

text: *I'm happy to change the tags if consensus goes that way -- Aronzak (talk) 21:01, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
