Talk:Fort Leonard Wood

Merger proposal

Support: I support the merging of the pages, and think it is a good idea. I also agree that it should have more information on its history and role today.--Mcabanes (talk) 21:46, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

REMINDER: Please create a merger proposal section on the talk page when adding {{merge}}, {{mergeto}}, or {{mergefrom}} templates.

• Support merging Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri to Fort Leonard Wood (military base). Both describe the same place, but from different perspectives. Cnilep (talk) 17:23, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

• Against merging it is a very bad idea. They are separate places and should be treated as such. The military base should have more information on its history and it's role today. Is it so bad if some facts overlap to another article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.15.8.132 (talk) 19:23, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

• Against Can someone explain what is meant by Fort Leonard Wood (military base) as a military installation being different from Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri as a census-designated place? These **ARE** the same location. However, what is Wikipedia's policy on other major Army installations like Fort Benning, Fort Bragg, etc.? Merging the two articles should not be done here unless it is standard Wikipedia policy with all military installations. MilitaryFan (talk) 06:59, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

• Support My passing familiarity with articles dealing with military posts indicates most articles do not have different entries for the installations vice the community which comprise the installation. This is particularly true for census designated areas. If I am correct, then consistency should rule. --S. Rich (talk) 05:36, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

• Against Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri is an incorporated census-designated place, meaning it has a downtown area, business infrastructure, and civilian housing opportunities, whereas Fort Leonard Wood (military base) only houses the official military installation (as User:MilitaryFan pointed out) and the housing strictly for employees and their families. The CDP was merely named for the military base nearby, and has never had any real connection to the base other than that. A good example of this would be the city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, which was named for a series of forts built in the area during the Second Seminole War, which have since grown to become one of Florida's largest Military installations. Also Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri and Fort Leonard Wood (military base) are over 20 miles away from one another. It would make no sense to merge pages for two places that are so far apart. --User:Bnnnperdue (talk) 16:20, 11 August 2015 (UCT)

• Against The unincorporated area known as Fort Leonard Wood includes the U.S. Army base by that name, but it also includes the surrounding region. As such, they are not one and the same. In other words, homes and businesses outside of the base are nevertheless considered to be within the Fort Leonard Wood census designated area, but they would not be considered part of the base itself. Kfander 03:48, 15 October 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kfander (talk • contribs)
• Against It is really simple. The town and base are separate even though they are both named after the same MOH recipient. Towns near bases are not folded into the base. This idea sucks! 172.56.20.176 (talk) 06:34, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
  • Wait, I just want to make sure that everybody understands that there is no separate town named after the fort or anything; the towns outside the base are Waynesville and St. Robert. For whatever reason there is an article discussing the demographics of the Census Designated Place (I think used by the Census Bureau), which is the exact same place as the base. I don't have an opinion as to whether or not they get merged (maybe the CDP article rolls Waynesville and St. Robert in--I haven't looked at it in detail) but I want to make this explicit because the comments here lead me to believe there's some confusion. 137.161.255.21 (talk) 19:22, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
