[edit] Merger proposal

This page contains the census and demographic information for Taos Pueblo, the main page for this topic, and the two pages should probably be merged to avoid duplication and confusing users. Pete Tillman (talk) 21:07, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose This article is on the wider community, the census-designated place, while the other (as far as I can see) covers the architectural structure itself. Consider the map on this article: it's accurate for this article, but probably quite inaccurate for the pueblo article itself. Nyttend (talk) 22:04, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Comment The two articles overlap, and confuse me, at least. Taos Pueblo covers both the pueblo itself, the adjacent modern housing, and (to some degree) the entire Taos Indian Reservation, which doesn't have a separate article. The CDP appears to cover the old pueblo plus most of the nearby reservation settlement. I don't really know how to disentangle them. Pete Tillman (talk) 04:39, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Since Taos Pueblo is a World Heritage Site, it should center on the pueblo with some comments about related matters (including the surrounding community), while the CDP article should concentrate on the community as a whole while mentioning the World Heritage Site within its boundaries. There's nothing wrong with a little overlap — indeed, good, so that the WHS and the CDP can have some context from the other — and I don't think that the current amount is a big problem, especially not a big enough problem to warrant merging.
