YouTube merges

There isn't a process that I'm aware of for merging existing articles into a new article that isn't made yet. I think this just falls back to "talk talk talk about it until there's a decision" on one of the Talk pages.

I would suggest picking the most trafficked Talk page and creating a new section to discuss a merger of that article and the other articles into the proposed new article. Then make a matching section on each of the others that simply says that it's proposed to merge them into new article that's not made yet and to please bring discussion to the section on the one article, with a link to the section given.

Essentially, it doesn't matter where the discussion is held, so long as it's highly visible from all three articles. I hope that helps! — Saxifrage ✎ 18:13, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and for the name of the article, solicit ideas for what it should be called. Famous YouTube users might be contested by non-fans if they're not famous outside of YouTube. I know you tried "Notable" before, and I can't think of what other adjective could be used, but maybe some bright light will come up with something during the merge discussion. — Saxifrage ✎ 18:16, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Sources for Grand Cities Mall

Alright, if it's sources they want, we can give them sources. I can spend some time at the Chester Fritz Library sifting through Grand Forks Herald microfilms from 1964; though if you recall any relevant articles I'd advise putting them up as well. --AlexWCovington (talk) 15:42, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

• I'll head to the NDSU library and check the Fargo Forum microfilms from 1964 as well. The mall is noteworthy, it's just something we have to dig up in the library :) Kinda fun actually! --Brian ^{(How am I doing?)} 16:02, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Aye ;) The microfilm setup at the CFL was ridiculous though, the best projectors they had available were thirty-year old top-projection models with manually powered reel cranks... The archivist showed me two different stations in various states of disrepair before settling on a third unit... which broke on me while I was rewinding the last reel I searched. Yikes! --AlexWCovington (talk) 09:43, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks to both of you for the effort you've put into trying to save the mall's article. Going through old microfilms takes plenty of effort. It's nice to see us ND editors sticking together! --MatthewUND^(talk) 21:46, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

James Provan (student)

Thanks for contributing to the article mentioned in the headline, but I am putting the category back. If you have a good reason to remove it, please specify in your edit summary, or on the talk page. I believe the category should remain, as James gained his fame through publishing a video on YouTube. Thank you. --Gray Porpoise 10:39, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Category:Notable YouTube users

Comment someone initiated a CfD on this category, but didn't do it correctly, so I finished the nomination. I know you've edited this article before so I thought you might want to give an opinion on what should be done with it at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 October 16.--Isotope23 19:20, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
