- This seems to be text-book WP:NOPAGE candidate to my eyes. Why can't the last two paragraphs (of the History section) be covered at the parent article -- West Pier ? I guess that's solely because the last major contribution was during the 2015 GAR, which predated the events. @Serial Number 54129: -- What say you? ∯WBGconverse 20:22, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
- I'd be inclined to agree, actually; the independent commentary contained in the last couple of paragraphs would easily fit into a new section on the Trust within the main article with no danger of being WP:UNDUE. ——SerialNumber54129 11:40, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
- In fact, on closer examination, the bulk of this article is the history of the pier, and the majority of the first two paragraphs of the "History" section are covered under the "Restoration" and "Decline and damage" sections of the parent article—including the hook itself! The only original material in this article would appear to be the crowdfunding of £750,000, the (mention of the) kiosk and the two sentences about the WPT's leadership. ——SerialNumber54129 12:42, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

; the rest are near-entirely covered at the parent article and in a better manner:-) ∯WBGconverse 13:15, 4 May 2019 (UTC) - I have boldly redirected the article after merging the content. ∯WBGconverse 18:33, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
