Ski hill[edit]

A couple of years ago @Britishfinance: boldly merged Asessippi Ski Area here. While I'm a fan of bold merges (I've done several myself), I'm wondering if the ski area would make more sense at Rural Municipality of Riding Mountain West. Manitoba Escarpment is a geology landform type article and the RM is more of a geography type article. I'm not going to boldly move it over; I want to create discussion on this (maybe I'm wrong). Thoughts? Masterhatch (talk) 12:52, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looking through the uses of {{Infobox ski area}}, the vast majority are used in standalone articles, which would argue for undoing the ~~split~~merge and leaving a stub. I did find Cairn Gorm, which is an article about both a mountain and a ski area. If we follow that precedent, then it would make sense to keep the ski area merged here, because this is the "mountain" that the ski area is on. I haven't seen any uses of the infobox in an article about a town, although I haven't looked carefully through all 807 transclusions. — hike395 (talk) 04:41, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Later: I just found Orlovka, Kyrgyzstan, which is a town with a ski area Infobox, so that's one example. But I'm still leaning towards undoing the ~~split~~ merge. — hike395 (talk) 04:44, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can count the number of edits that I've made on active ski hills on hand as that's not an area I'm usually interested in. After I made that post, I did a little more looking around and saw it was common to have stubs for ski hills, just like it's common to have stubs for airports (List of airports in Saskatchewan & List of airports in Manitoba). No one's talking about merging those, nor should they (IMHO). You suggested splitting the article back up. I agree that that might be the right course to take.

Done --- I also found separate articles for Mount Agassiz Ski Resort and Thunderhill Ski Area, both on the Escarpment. So it doesn't make much sense for Asessippi to be merged in. — hike395 (talk) 15:29, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
