Merge

I propose that The Indian Bean Tree, St James Square, Monmouth be merged into St James Square, Monmouth. I believe that the tree, by itself, is not sufficiently notable to justify a stand-alone article, and the content of that article would be better placed within the context of this article on the square as a whole.

It's a possibility. However, in the course of researching this article I found additional material on the tree and had planned on expanding the Indian Bean Tree article. Also, please note that the Indian Bean Tree was initially proposed as an article by the MonmouthpediA project. Anne (talk) 17:30, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Anne, the project did suggest the tree, but it looks like the Square is a more substantive subject. It would be goofd to resolve as this can go to DYK if we are prompt. Victuallers (talk) 17:43, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As a PS, I came across this new book yesterday - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Heritage-Trees-Wales-Archie-Miles/dp/1905582498 - which has a significant section on the tree - pages 94-96. I'm not going to buy the book myself, but if someone were to add in the information from it, it could make it worthwhile keeping the article. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:29, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
