Talk:Lance Armstrong doping case

Merger proposal with Lance Armstrong doping allegations

As per my comments on the Talk:Lance Armstrong page, I would be in favour of merging these two articles into a broader article on the whole affair. Born2cycle has suggested carrying on the discussion here instead and I agree. Thoughts on the proposed merger? WelshDaveRyan (talk) 19:58, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge. My view at this time is I'd rather see efforts made to improve this article. I also think that if we were to properly incorporate the allegations into this article, then we'd have to edit out much of the material. I think that would be a mistake. A key point to the story is that despite the large number and seriousness of the allegations, Armstrong escaped scrutiny not only from anti-doping authorities, but also from the press and public. One cannot fully appreciate this without seeing how many allegations there were, as they are currently covered at Lance Armstrong doping allegations. Much of that is not pertinent to "the case", and so it does not make sense to incorporate all if it into a section of this article. That means it has to be left there, in its own article, or much of it will be lost. I suggest there is a lesson in the breadth and depth of all those allegations, and they should be retained. --Born2cycle (talk)

Support, I believe with the information available both articular should be merged. B-watchmework (talk) 00:24, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
