Talk:Subsidized housing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Subsidized housing is included in the 2007 Wikipedia for Schools, or is a candidate for inclusion in future versions. Please maintain high quality standards, and make an extra effort to include free images, because non-free images cannot be used on the CDs.

I just ran across the page, created in December 2005. As it happens, others began organizing this information under the article affordable housing. I provided a link between the articles, but don't really see a clear difference between the content of they articles as the exist now. The two are not the same subject but there's not enough content to justify the current split. Consider truncating the entry in subsidized housing since the new article is far less developed than affordable housing. Thanks. Castellanet 01:55, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Disagree, Subsidized housing is a distinct article and should remain separate. Cordially SirIsaacBrock 03:22, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate the disagreement, and acknowledge the possible and logical distinction, but ask why now keep separate without sufficient content to justify the split? In other words, why put up divided and duplicate content?Castellanet 05:46, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Subsidized housing is distinct and not duplicate with sufficient content. Why not go to your local library and find some books, do some research and make a meaningful contribution at Wikipedia rather than starting meaningless discussions. My final words on the matter.

Oops, the Ad hominem above is inappropriate. There is duplication here, I was merely suggesting content coordination. I'll come back to do the coordination in a week or two unless reason is given otherwise. Castellanet 06:33, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Disagree. It's patently obvious that affordable and subsidized housing are different concepts and, as such, deserve different articles. Just because affordable housing is over-ambitious is no reason to merge them. I think at least a few of the sub-categories of subsidized housing should be merged here though. 66.122.67.69 10:23, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
