Keep or Merge. The organisation definitely seems to have been notable, though it was apparently more usually known as the Great Guild - for more information, see this, for instance. There is also an article on the guild's former building at Large Guild, Riga - it might be more sensible to have just the one article. PWilkinson (talk) 22:32, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge information on buildings with respective articles and keep information on association as stub per PWilkinson. For comparison Latvian Wikipedia has article on it under lv:Lielā ģilde ~~Xil (talk) 10:34, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/merge per PWilkinson and Xil. Seems reasonable. Interesting, though, a new editor added a ton of info, poorly formatted, to the top of the page. Ansh6 6 6 19:16, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
