Talk:Carlisle principle
PROD[edit]
Amkilpatrick has proposed this article for deletion. As it was me who started it six years ago, I should respond here. At that time the Carlisle Principle was a catchphrase heard very widely in the news, and I created the article because I felt that ordinary viewers of news broadcasts would be wondering about it. Six years on, it is no longer heard, and much of the rationale for the article has gone. Nevertheless, I wouldn't want the information to be lost, as it has some historical importance, and the whole history of Scottish devolution is still very much relevant to current affairs. So I would support deletion if somebody can incorporate just a sentence or two with the main point (and the sources) into some other article, possibly Taxation in Scotland or History of Scottish devolution, or even David Cameron. This page might usefully become a redirect.--Doric Loon (talk) 17:39, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Doric Loon: thanks for the response! I agree this information is worth keeping in some form, possibly most effectively as a merge with History of Scottish devolution. 2015_United_Kingdom_general_election#Constitutional_affairs is another option? it already has a sentence relating to Scotland's position post-2014. I don't mind making the edit and setting up the redirect, this a good idea too. Amkilpatrick (talk) 11:10, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- Amkilpatrick, if you have the enthusiasm to do that, please go ahead. There is nobody else active here, so no further consensus is required. Thank you for taking the time. --Doric Loon (talk) 12:42, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- Consider it
