Merge request

This article is duplicated in Department of Environment and Forests (Tamil Nadu). According to the agency's website, the English version of its name is "Environment and Forests Department". I suggest that this and the other article both be merged into an article by the above name. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 02:24, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: on the grounds that Forests is a distinct subdepartment, has a long independent history and is currently a well-referenced page covering a distinct topic. A separate page seems reasonable. Klbrain (talk) 18:50, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Environment and Forests Department (Tamil Nadu)

Two articles on the same topic DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 10:28, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Tamil Nadu Forest Uniformed Services Recruitment Committee

This recruitment committee does not appear to be sufficiently notable for a stand-alone article, but could appropriately be mentioned in the article on the Forest Department. PamD 14:09, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
