Errors, Redundant. Delete?

This minimal stub is already covered in more detail in Laguna Colorada. I suspect this article was created because somebody didn't find the real article. Maybe change this page to a redirect to Laguna Colorada? (The name of the Laguna is Laguna Colorada) PsamatheM (talk) 09:42, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

PS There are also some major "errors" or "conflicts" in the page. e.g.

• the Geolocation is in Potsi Department (as per Laguna Colorada) not Beni Department. Is this actually referring to a different lake, except references are to articles about the Laguna Colorada!
• Rio Solor is an "inflow" NOT an "outflow" - see Saline Lakes V Proceedings of the Vth International Symposium on Inland Saline Lakes, held in Bolivia, 22–29 March 1991 [1] PsamatheM (talk) 12:46, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

@PsamatheM: Thanks for flagging this duplicate, I replaced your template with the merge to / from template for discussion and resolving the conflicting information. Probably best as merge and redirect of this article to the Laguna Colorada article which is older and somewhat more developed. I agree there is some work needed to resolve the conflicting information.Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 05:24, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

@Wolfgang8741: I am happy to do the merge and redirect the minimal page and remove the disputed information (which is actually clearly wrong). BUT, how many comments does one need to decide a "consensus" and should I just do it now? (as few comments have been made either here or from the Bolivia WikiProject talk page where I also raised the issue). PsamatheM (talk) 13:32, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

@PsamatheM: Great, the general practice is to leave the proposal open for discussion about a week or more of no activity. The merger proposal template raises visibility of the discussion to the tagged projects and merge board so there is some chance for others to chime in, but given this shouldn't really be controversial 7 days from the last post here should be when this could be closed and merged. I only noticed this tag hidden in the WikiProject Lakes cleanup bot report, but the merge template displays on the project main page Article Alerts section.Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who?

Following discussion (with no objections), information from this article now merged into Laguna Colorada and this article redirected to Laguna Colorada. PsamatheM (talk) 12:29, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
