See no merit of a redirect to Golf. I have added the courses mentioned to city articles. See no real reason why these specifically are singled out, appears to be left over from the old site. --Traveler100 (talk) 11:24, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We also have Golf in China, Golf in Argentina and Golf in Australia if you ask me, they can all be deleted while the main Golf article needs severe cleaning up. Hobbitschuster (talk) 12:44, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
On the other hand we have lots of "Diving in ..." articles, e.g. Diving in the Philippines. What are the criteria for deciding when such a split is appropriate? Our usual rule is to put info into the main article initially, split out child articles only when there is enough material. Is that enough here? Pashley (talk) 15:07, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If any of the country sections of the man Golf article get disproportionally large then they should be split into a child article. I am sure there is enough material to have articles for many locations but until someone creates it there is little point to having a stalled page. --Traveler100 (talk) 15:33, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, plus I think it is better to start from a clean slate if and when such becomes necessary. Another issue I raised at Talk:Golf is that the articles are imho too uncritical of the ecological impact. I take that golf developed with the specific flora, fauna and landscape of Scotland where golf courses are rather close to the way nature generally looks like, but you only need to look at the grotesque aerial pictures of golf courts in the middle of the desert to see that's not necessarily the case globally.

  • Support deletion - the discussion seems to have got sidetracked into other issues, which are all worth discussing, but I propose to move forward with the deletion of this article. Ground Zero (talk) 14:25, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. It is a subject that we reasonably could have an article on, but this is not it. The main Golf article lists a few significant courses in England, rather than the 4 courses listed here (and 2 of these are only 9 holes). (Note that the first two paragraphs are also in Golf, so redirect to Golf if there is an attribution issue.) AlasdairW (talk) 22:55, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge & redirect to Golf. The merit of a reirect is that it keeps the history & attribution which the license obligates us to do if we keep any of the text. At least on quick inspection by a non-golfer, it looks as though there is some worth merging. Pashley (talk) 11:40, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Result: Merged into Golf#England --Saqib (talk) 13:22, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
