Why would this article be merged with another? I wrote this initially in 2007. What would be needed to improve the quality since then? 1tallmensan (talk) 02:00, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue that Irishtown Bend Archeological District be merged into this article (Irishtown Bend). The rationale: The Bend is also a geological structure, and it's collapsing into the Cuyahoga River. Efforts to stabilize the Bend are going to cost $50 million or more.[1] Since there's a lot more to the Bend that just Irishtown, or an archeological site, this article should be kept and expanded, and the archeological article merged into it. - Tim1965 (talk) 14:42, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. Makes sense to do so. Ryecatcher773 (talk) 19:05, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. That sounds like the better solution here. The actual bend/neighborhood is larger than either the failing slope or the archeological district. 1tallmensan (talk) 14:32, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I completed the merge. - Tim1965 (talk) 16:52, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
