The result was Keep This is an instance where the content forking is actually encyclopedic and valid. Merging the two would simply result in an article, that is already bloated, exploding. Cheers, I'mperator 18:09, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Unnecessary content forking. Content is already included elsewhere. Also, this appears to be a synthesis, rather than a reporting of second party sources. Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:38, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Content forking, as I read the guideline, is only bad when the intent is to present a different POV from the one in the main article. This was obviously not the case when this was originally done, and I don't see that the POV here is significantly different from that in the main article. In fact, due to the size of the original article, the creation and continuing existence of the article seems to be totally consistent with Wikipedia:Summary style. If anything, the original article's section on slavery could be trimmed as suggested by summary style -- adding additional info back to the already long main article does not seem like a good idea. The subject of George Washington and slavery is an important issue and has been the subject of at least one well-received recent (2003) book by historian Henry Wiencek. Like many articles, this one can be cleaned up, but that doesn't justify deletion. Tom (North Shoreman) (talk) 23:23, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
