@Drmies: Since you showed recent interest in this article, what do you think? I've been looking for sources that are actually about the store's history and there's not much but maybe I'm not looking in the right places. Foodland is a subsidary of Sobeys, so I'd suggest a redirect leading to that target. Unless a merge is a better idea? Clovermoss🍀(talk) 00:11, 22 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hi User:Clovermoss, that seems fair. It's often hard to source such places, even if they're big regionally. A merge seems like a good solution--you know how to do this, I'm sure, so my apologies if I'm being redundant. I just copy the entire content, paste it into a new section and save it, then make the redirect with the "#" for the subsection, and then clean up. The mostly primary sourcing isn't such a big deal if it's a subsection of a larger article. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 14:28, 22 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Drmies Thanks for your input. I haven't actually merged an article before myself as far as I can remember, but it seems simple enough. This does lead to the separate issue of the page title. Foodland (Canada) (this article) and Foodland Ontario being about different concepts even though both are associated with Ontario in some capacity. The latter isn't really notable either as far as I can tell but I can't think of a good redirect/merge target for it. Maybe Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (Ontario)? My concern at the moment is unintentionally confusing page titles. If I merge this article to Sobeys, should I add a redirect hatnote to that specific section of the article? I haven't seen that before in the almost 5 years I've been editing here but maybe there's precedent for that sort of thing. Clovermoss🍀(talk) 00:03, 23 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
Interesting--I'm not sure I've ever seen that, but it makes sense, esp. if people get to the article via the redirect. So, yeah, I think you should go for it! Thanks, Drmies (talk) 00:33, 23 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
