Merge[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

After 3.5 years of open discussion, it does not appear that consensus has formed for merging the two articles in question. Discussion closed. WTF? (talk) 23:16, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've proposed merging the 10th Regiment of Foot into this article, as the two articles describe the same unit - one up to 1881, one 1881 onwards. The unit didn't change in 1881, unlike most Army regiments; the 26th Regiment and upwards were merged, but the 1st to 25th merely got new names and absorbed new reserve/volunteer battalions. In effect, there's complete continuity between them, and there's no need to separate the articles. Shimgray | talk | 01:57, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. This Regiment later became the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Lincolnshire Regiment in 1881. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tempaire (talk • contribs) 21:58, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can this be closed now? There's been no objection to this proposal, and (as you say) the same format is used in other, similar, articles, so I would suggest if you still wish to go ahead with it. Moonraker12 (talk) 17:53, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There was obviously an objection as someone removed the merge tag from the article. Keith D (talk) 19:45, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Merge[edit]

I don't believe that there were any objections to the above proposal: the merge tag was probably just removed after 3.5 years due to lack of interest. I have completed the merge as there was huge duplication between the two articles. Dormskirk (talk) 22:43, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
