Essentially a POV fork from Cheshire East Council and trying to fluff it up with the viral Handforth Parish Council incident. Misconduct happens all the time in random local councils. I argue that most of this article falls under WP:ROUTINE coverage. The little of it that is still relevant should be concisified and put into Cheshire East Council.

Delete. The parish council incident can be included on the article on Handforth Town Council page, and the rest condensed and put onto the Cheshire East Council page, per nom. --QueenofBithynia (talk) 08:29, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose deletion as the article has useful content/history that should be preserved as it may be merged with other articles. Furthermore, merge and delete as the nominator appears to be suggesting isn't an option because of Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia attribution requirements.

Merge and redirect works just as well, I'd support that. In any case, the huge amount of coverage garnered by a funny video does not imply that we should have much stuff on bullying in a borough. Perhaps two paragraphs on the borough's page—one for the video and one for the allegations. It went viral because people were bored in lockdown, not because it deserves our serious coverage, and we should have some editorial discretion there. (Also, I know you're not arguing that it deserves a long article; just wanted to put a longer form rationale since it's relisted.) Ovinus (talk) 02:25, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect to Cheshire East Council and selective merge to both that page and Handforth Town Council. I don't really see a need to cover this on a separate page, while it probably has enough coverage to deserve inclusion in some form on the page of the council. I share concerns about WP:NPOV, though I think that having emphasis on selective in selective merge could help to remedy any issues with bias in how the article is written. This would also satisfy the legal requirements associated with WP:CWW, per Buidhe. — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 06:26, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
