Talk:Hatshepsut problem

Merge

Unless anyone objects, I'm going to recommend this article for a merge or redirect to Hatshepsut. This article is a stub that doesn't say anything that isn't already said in the main article. --Managerpants (talk) 15:03, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

No need to merge, delete

As you stated, the article says nothing that that isn't already in Hatshepsut -- no need to merge this article into it. The information in this article is redundant and nothing would be lost by deleting it. A link to the site exists already at the article on Hatshepsut and the author states, I hope this site is helpful to you in your studies. I truly was fascinated with the story of Hatshepsut, and I worked hard to ensure the accuracy of the information found on this site. However, I am not an Egyptology scholar. This site should be used as an additional resource to primary and/or published research.

The dilemma has been resolved -- and information to dispel it shown to have been readily available among the writings of ancient historians -- seems unnecessary to perpetuate it. 83d40m (talk) 00:58, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Deletion is fine with me. I'm new to this whole process, and I didn't want to ruffle any feathers. :-) --Managerpants (talk) 03:11, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

It is good that you are cautious and your consideration of other editors is another important characteristic. One way to achieve consensus is to use the notice you inserted and wait for responses, another is to contact the editors who contributed to the article of concern. It does not seem that there are very many who have contributed to the Hatshepsut problem, so contacting each might be another way to build consensus about the action you feel is warranted. Some editors merely take the action they believe is best... and see what the response will be, but that does ruffle feathers at times. Until one becomes familiar with an article and a topic, caution is best, but thoughtful and well intended actions should be respected by others, even if they disagree and prefer another action. Let's see who chimes in about your suggestion. As you can see, I would support deletion of the stub because I believe that the topic is already covered adequately at Hatshepsut, hence, I think that merger is not necessary. Someone might want to expand this article, but then they should do that instead of leaving such a weak stub. 83d40m (talk) 00:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. And thanks for the advice! Much appreciated. --Managerpants (talk) 01:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
