Suggest this page be folded into the Draft:Balloon Federation of America User:Peteschulz210 (talk) 17:44, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Peteschulz210: So you suggested it and then did it yourself? That's not how things work. Use Wikipedia:Proposed article mergers. SL93 (talk) 01:55, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@SL93: Sorry I'm the original author of both these pages. The BFA page was pulled back into draft status, low numbers of views, and at risk of deletion. Short on time, but the BFA, Museum, Hall of Fame, and National Balloon Classic in Iowa are all colocated (at least their offices) in Indianola. The Hall of Fame list not updated, stub status with very little hyper links. I'm a newer writer and I'm happy to learn, but also don't have forever to work on an orphan article--this isn't Charles Lindbergh. Please feel free to suggest and I will try to work. I value your input especially with your Iowa background and Wiki knowledge. Sincerely User:Peteschulz210 (talk) 04:12, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest merger into the [Balloon Federation of America]]User:Peteschulz210 (talk) 19:05, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[edit]

The Balloon Federation of America (BFA) is physically colocated with the National Balloon Classic and National Balloon Museum (This museum owns the List of U.S. Ballooning Hall of Fame Inductees). These articles are very stuby on their own, but merged into one article under the founding BFA would make for a more comprehensive understanding.

Oppose per invalid reasons being given A start class article doesn't equal "very stubby". Just because an article is currently short doesn't mean that it can't be expanded at some point. I added an online book with over 10 pages of information to the external links section already. I also don't appreciate that you tried to delete the page history of the article by sending it to draft space for "eventual deletion", which in turn would delete anything showing that I contributed the work.
