Merge article?

One thing suggested in the AFD discussion was to merge this into another article, possibly the Donald Trump article, as per the Wikipedia policy on biographies. I have now noticed the Future developments in Aberdeen article, which contains a section about Trump International Golf Links, so maybe this article should be merged into that section. --Snigbrook ^(talk) 14:08, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Forbes is a bit of a hero to those who object to the arrogance and philistinism of Trump and his organisation. Keep the page; stop the merge; stop the golf course; preserve the shifting dunes! --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 18:01, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
