Citizenship in the World Merit Badge

It's not clear what this article is about. It's ungrammatical. Nothing links to it. Bcrowell 01:42, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to List_of_merit_badges_in_the_Boy_Scouts_of_America -- the lack of context makes it a candidate for CSD/A1, but a redirect may also be appropriate. Adrian~enwiki (talk) 02:03, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as nonsense. Same user authored Citizenship in the World Merit Badge Merit Badge, which I just put in the prod queue. --Lockley 02:04, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - Jonel has worked on it, in context it now makes sense, keep or redirect. Cheers Jonel. --Lockley 05:13, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Lockley --Ruby 02:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete half baked original research. Go back to drawing board 201.121.165.129 03:44, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Merit badge (Boy Scouts of America) (note - this is where the page Adrian mentions itself redirects). Both are This is an actual merit badges awarded by the Boy Scouts of America. While certainly not deserving of an articles of their its own, it is certainly conceivable that someone might look for them it here. -- Jonel | Speak 03:54, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

  Edited upon realizing the "other one" was not Citizenship in the Nation Merit Badge as I somehow misread it, but really just a mangling of duplicating the Citizenship in the World Merit Badge. Support the prod-ing of the meritbadgemeritbadge. -- Jonel | Speak 04:13, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Note - following my comment above, I cleaned the article to give some context and grammar. Still think it's undeserving of separate article and continue my recommendation of redirect. -- Jonel | Speak 03:59, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

A redirect is fine with me. I'm not quite clear on how it can have text and still be a redirect, but I'm happy with any solution that doesn't just leave it as a dysfunctional, unintelligible article, which it no longer is.--Bcrowell 04:38, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

My text is meant to be temporary, just to let people at this AfD know what the context is. I expect it to go *poof* as the article is redirected. -- Jonel | Speak 05:31, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that redirect, User:Jonel :) Adrian~enwiki (talk) 06:09, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: Redirected to Merit badge (Boy Scouts of America) -- if anyone has a problem with this, or a better idea, please let me know :) . Adrian~enwiki (talk) 06:12, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I might have waited more than 5 hours from the original nom before removing the AfD notice, but seems to be harmless in this case. Turnstep 00:02, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
    • I call 'em as I see 'em, and I couldn't see it being controversial on this one. If it seemed otherwise, I woulda proposed it first. Thanks for the feedback tho :) — Adrian~enwiki (talk) 04:42, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
      • No problem. :) I'm perfectly happy to support this redirect, for the record. Turnstep 04:04, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
