Merged articles

As can be seen above, this article consists of material merged from several articles. These articles might have a tough time being considered noteworthy for inclusion on their own. Hence, this merge seemed to be the best solution to retain this material. For preliminary merge discussion please see discussions at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/.22 Nosler and User talk:Tigraan#Nosler AfD. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 05:34, 9 February 2017 (UTC) [reply]

Hello. I am the creator of the WP:AfD for the .22 Nosler. I like your idea of redirecting to Nosler. But I also like your idea of creating a merged article for these Nosler ammunition articles. I just don't know which is best. I mean I can merge these to the main Nosler article - as subsections of "Company developments". Or I can create a list article, as you mentioned in the AfD. Which of these sounds best to you? In the meantime, I think I will go ahead and start the List article, and merge as much information as I can from each of these. I will leave a link to that article once I get going. Thanks for the ideas, and again, please let me know what you think. And of course you are welcome to help out. ---Steve Quinn (talk)

Here is the page I created: Nosler proprietary cartridges. I rescinded the AfD and then merged two articles. I will try to merge the few or several others in the days to come. If you want to merge one or two, feel free. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 05:06, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Posting here to not fragment the discussion. Pinging BJordan1000, author of multiple .xx Nosler articles.

I suggested a list article because even if the articles are in prose form, they include mostly data that could usefully be formatted as a table (date of design, diameter, ballistics, parent case, etc.). A short paragraph of historical information could be kept at Nosler. Note that even if some of those are standalone-notable, WP:PRODUCT discourages the creation of individual articles. This being said, I have little knowledge in the domain of firearms (example). Tigraan^{Click here to contact me} 08:13, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Tigraan:. Thanks very much for responding. I agree if someone wants to create tables then feel free. I wanted to use the info-boxes in the former articles for each section, but they are too long as they are. If someone who has knowledge or expertise pertaining to these rounds (or cartridges) - maybe that person can shorten the info-boxes to fit into each section. I think this would be a nice addition to this article. I would do it, but I don't know what to leave out. I am also lacking in expertise or much knowledge in this subject area. I might be able to discuss the .45 caliber round and pistol, but that would be it - and these are not related to the Nosler ammo. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 20:37, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I merged another one too, .30 Nosler. Felsic2 (talk) 18:02, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
