- Life rank → Life Scout (Boy Scouts of America)
- Star (Boy Scouts of America) → Star Scout (Boy Scouts of America)
– Consistent with existing ranks: Eagle Scout (Boy Scouts of America) and First Class Scout (Boy Scouts of America) pbp 02:54, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
- Strong uspport "life rank" should refer to rank-for-life in military or nobility. Thus needs disambiguation. -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 06:52, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
- Comment. Combined Star (Boy Scouts of America) → Star Scout (Boy Scouts of America) Apteva (talk) 05:37, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
- Comment I don't think the combined nomination was appropriate. It should exist as two separate nominations. The change in "Life" is much more significant than the change in "Star". -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 06:02, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
- As the original nominator, I second that, and note that the combination of the nominations was not my doing pbp 15:55, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
- Comment It makes sense to have a centralized discussion in the interests of consistency and expediency. Just because the discussion is combined, doesn't mean that the result is required to be consistent. If the result of the discussion is to move Star to Fee (scouts) and Life to Foo (boy scouts), then nothing prevents the closer from doing that. – Wbm1058 (talk) 17:44, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
- See also, per talk:Tenderfoot Scout
- Tenderfoot Scout → Tenderfoot Scout (Boy Scouts of America)
- Second Class rank → Second Class Scout (Boy Scouts of America)

- Comment – We have a nice overview article at Ranks in the Boy Scouts of America, and two qualify articles linked off that: First Class Scout (Boy Scouts of America) and Eagle Scout (Boy Scouts of America). Then, on 10 December 2012, along comes an editor, making their first visit to post in three months, who then makes 19 edits over a span of 26 minutes. This editor as yet has not returned to finish their "work." What they left behind for us to clean up:
- Tenderfoot Scout, Second Class rank, Star rank, since moved to Star (Boy Scouts of America) and Life rank, four inconsistently named articles all full of red link grafitti
- Scout Badge, a wp:CONTENTFORK of Scout badge
- Has anyone checked for copyright violations? If no one wants to volunteer to clean up this mess, I think we should redirect them to Ranks in the Boy Scouts of America until we have articles worthy of splitting off. – Wbm1058 (talk) 19:07, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
- I'd start a seperate section that discusses that issue. I think it's pretty clear that all six ranks are notable, but whether they all deserve individual articles is up for debate. I think Eagle pretty clearly does, First Class probably does, and the rest you can take or leave pbp 20:23, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
- Comment. In response to Wbm1058's post on User talk:Moonriddengirl, I've redirected all the articles this new user created for now. The Tenderfoot one was a copyvio in toto; the Star and Life ones were copy/pastes, without proper attribution, of material in Ranks in the Boy Scouts of America; and the Second Class one was a mess. Anyone who wants to write proper articles on these ranks is certainly free to do so. I only made it as far as Life Scout, myself. Deor (talk) 21:17, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
- Comment since the pages have been deleted and recreated as redirects, I think this can be procedurally closed as nothing to do. -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 23:28, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
