Proposed merge of List of striking US workers by year, Bureau of Labor Statistics (1881 - present) into Labor history of the United States

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

To not merge; significant recent improvement (since AfD) now warrants a stand-alone article. Klbrain (talk) 18:32, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

From AfD close. Heart ^(talk) 03:56, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would oppose a merger now, because the article stands Striking US workers by year on its own and uses BLS as a high quality source. It satisfies WP:LIST and lists strikes, which is different from a general labor history that is in prose format

~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 23:29, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose the merger on the basis of the article being sufficiently developed at this point to stand on it's own. As became the general agreement among most near the end of the initial discussion.

Oppose The article is far different than the one that went to AFD. It went from 5,080 bytes to the 22,792 bytes its at now. I started added in links to various articles for different strikes, LoomCreek then did the rest of the work. Too much valid content to merge over. Dream Focus 18:26, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

article should be renamed to "Organized Labor history of the United states"

I was expecting to read about the history of US labor in general. but the article focused only on unions and organized labor. 149.88.27.149 (talk) 02:18, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
