Ward's Point and Burial Ridge were merged in Feb 19. There is no consensus to merge them into Conference House Park but a fresh merge proposal and discussion could be started. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 18:07, 29 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Burial Ridge appears to the more common name for the Ward's Point Archeological Site, also documented (in less detail than here) at Ward's Point (source). These two articles should probably be merged, possibly into Conference House Park. Magic♪piano 21:30, 8 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

According to the National Register forms for the Ward's Point Archeological Site (listed 1993) and the Ward's Point Conservation Area (listed 1982), the Conservation Area is 33 acres mainly south of the Conference House (but also including it), of which the Archeological Site is 20 acres south of the house. The form for the Archeological Site explicitly identifies it as Burial Ridge. Both are completely contained with the park. Magic♪piano 22:01, 8 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Weak oppose to the proposal to merge Conference House Park and Ward's Point on the grounds that the history of the Conference House is independently notable (as a National Historic Monument), while the Ward's Point article focusses on the Ward's Point Archeological Site (National Historic Landmark). So, the scope is different even though the geographical location is overlapping. The pages are already linked in several places. Klbrain (talk) 05:46, 16 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Magicpiano, I support this proposal. According to this brochure, Ward's Point is merely a feature within Conference House Park, so we can merge them. Though it is an NRHP site, the Ward's Point article should be merged into the park's article. These are two small pages that would be better if they were at a single location. epicgenius (talk) 12:49, 17 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
