[edit] Scouting in Cumbria

Scouting in Cumbria (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

I seem to recall that there was a policy against local chapters of larger organisations having their own pages. In any case, the article says that there is scouting in Cumbria, then provides us with links to outside websites for the various chapters, which I know is against Wikipedia policy. Nothing on the page suggests anything at all notable. Fee Fi Foe Fum 08:22, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. The consensus developed over a couple of years is that there can be articles on the Scouting unit below the national level. In the US and Australia this means States and in the UK it means Counties. Local chapters (although the term Chapter is never used, at least in UK Scouting) are the individual Scout Groups or Troops and articles on these have been deleted or merged into articles on States or Counties. This has also happened for Scout Districts, individual Gang Shows and so on. The Scouting Project keeps a close eye on these matters. --Bduke 21:09, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

  • speedy keep-there is an article on every Scout county in England, that's not a local chapter, that's a regional org. Chris 22:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The guideline in question is Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), specifically:

“

Individual chapters of national and international organizations are usually not notable enough to warrant a separate article unless sufficient notability is established through reliable sources. However, chapter information may be included in list articles as long as only verifiable information is included.”
The Scouting Project guideline at Wikipedia:WikiProject Scouting/MOS#Non-national articles is derived from the WP guideline. --— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 00:38, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
