Proposed merge of National Trust of Australia (Northern Territory) into National Trust of Australia

Virtually no information here apart from the list which can embedded in main. Single sentence would cover the section intro. scope_creep^Talk 12:54, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does not seem to be notable at all (applies to other requests on this page, too). All sources are affiliated. Just Delete them all, there is nothing to merge IMHO. Викидим (talk) 06:56, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Викидим: Thats true, but I was hoping somebody could come and expand the main article so these could merged in There is one of the orgs in the uk, does the same job so the main org here is probably notable. scope_creep^Talk 18:44, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of National Trust of Australia (New South Wales) into National Trust of Australia

Virtually no information in this article. It can be put in main article. Also unsourced. Good merge from target scope_creep^Talk 12:55, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of National Trust of South Australia into National Trust of Australia

Simply no need for a badly sourced, light-on-detail sub article to exist when it can be emdedded in main article. Single sentence to introduce the section with the list taken across. Good mergeto target. scope_creep^Talk 12:57, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose. The merger proposal is completely meritless - although the State bodies operate under a common umbrella for marketing purposes (e.g. having a shared website, offering uniform overseas privileges to individual members, etc.) they are in fact fully independent bodies, with very significant differences between them. For example, the WA NT is part of a government department, while NTSA is an NGO which, rather than being incorporated under the Corporations Act, was set up under its very own Act of Parliament. NTSA is also very different to the other state bodies in having a very large number of regional branches which operate their own museums, whereas the other state bodies are centralised. They also differ in levels of advocacy, with NTSA recently having had a successful outcome over the Ayers House issue which played a role in the change of government at the last state election. I agree that the present article stubs are very inadequate, despite a plethora of resources (e.g. published books, etc.). I could have tried to rectify this, but have refrained due to a COI - I've been a member of NTSA for 18 years, and was a founding committee member of its Port of Adelaide Branch (which, although one of the largest branches in membership size, isn't listed in the stub because it doesn't operate a museum, and was set up instead purely for advocacy), though I had to step down from it several years ago due to health reasons.
