Granges

Small-time localized political party that never amounted to anything much. Now defunct. Since the word googles a lot, this article might be better spent discussing something else entirely. Radiant! 15:34, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)

Maybe, since we can always look them up in Britannica [1] instead. Kappa 16:54, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Redirect to Grange movement. Kappa 16:57, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I agree. Redirect. Miss Pippa 18:03, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Merge and Redirect to Grange movement. This article appears to have at least a little bit of expanded information. Ah, what the heck, I'll do the merge hopefully by the time you have read this. HyperZonk^talk 18:39, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
  - Comment: In fact, in doing research for the merged information, I found that there are substantive errors in this article. Merge (of correct information) is now complete. HyperZonk^talk 19:09, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
    - Thank you Zonk. Kappa 00:39, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I love the comment "never amounted to much." :) I hope the nominator isn't American. If so, it's quite an embarassment.-- Decumanus 01:20, 2005 Mar 1 (UTC)
- Nope, I'm not. That was because of this line, "Eventually farmers lost interest because of the failure of most of the legislation the Granges proposed." Radiant! 08:22, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
  - Well that's a relief! -- Decumanus 08:39, 2005 Mar 1 (UTC)
Actually the Granges were an important and influential movement, and still around today...but they are already covered in another article. Merge and redirect to Grange movement. Kaibabsquirrel 03:12, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Obviously, redirect. A textbook example of how not to demonstrate notability in an article. "Napoleon was a Corsican corporal who later was active in French politics." -- Jmabel | Talk 01:23, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)
Redirect, I wish radiant! would actually check rather than just delete everything. Bluemoose 20:35, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
