The result was merge to Boundary (real estate). Consensus is for adding any necessary content to the Boundary article and redirecting to that article. (non-admin closure) Natg 19 (talk) 00:51, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This would perhaps be better as a soft redirect to Wiktionary than an article here. It has some mentions as a term, but no notability. Boleyn (talk) 07:38, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Boundary disputes are vexatious (example) so this would be best left as it is for further improvement per our policies WP:IMPERFECT and WP:PRESERVE. There is, of course, detailed coverage of the topic in sources such as Boundaries and Landmarks - A Practical Manual and Brown's Boundary Control and Legal Principles.

Your invocation of the China-India border dispute is completely irrelevant to this article. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 13:26, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Boundary (real estate). This is too narrow of a topic for a single article (it's a tree that marks a boundary for goodness sake), but it is part of the more general concept of real estate boundaries and could be put in proper context there. That article itself is a bit thin and could use some beefing up, so it's a perfect match. There are also currently no secondary sources in this article, so even a merge would be inappropriate unless some were added. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 13:26, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Boundary (real estate) per Deacon Vorbis. As mentioned above, this is far to narrow of a topic to justify an article separate from the main article on the broad topic of real estate boundaries. The term comes up in sources here and there, but the results are little more than defining what it means. While I do agree that there is no real usable info currently in the article for a merge (the only sources are just examples of times the phrase was used in documents), we do need to actually add a line mentioning and defining it at the main Boundary (real estate) article, as it is not currently mentioned there.

Merge to Boundary (real estate). I would agree that the need of a stand-alone article seems weak, but the current boundary article is really a stub and doesn't say anything about line trees or for that matter anything else about how said boundaries are determined, so just redirecting is not the way to go.

Merge to Boundary (real estate). Our coverage and interlinking in this area is weak and we could really use an article about real estate boundary markers, but right now this is the closest we've got for a topic that doesn't really stand on its own. –dlthewave ☎ 20:17, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Moved back, per WP:SENTENCECASE. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:25, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as others have already said. There isn't enough for it to stand on it's own. -Kj cheetham (talk) 20:24, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
