Untitled

Since this entry refers to mutliple publications by the same publisher, multiple ISSNs are needed, one for each publication. -- Tetraminoe 09:49, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That's true, but only if multiple ISSNs were really issued. portal.issn.org lists an Eason Publications (Atlanta) ISSN 0889-8685 for a journal started in 1978. Journal Finder lists this same ISSN plus also ISSN 0889-3290 Parameter error in {{issn}}: Invalid ISSN. for Creative Loafing (Atlanta). My hunch is that ISSN 0889-8685 applies to all four city publications and that in addition, the Atlanta edition also has its own ISSN. I do not think the other 3 city editions have ISSNs, and thus recommend removing the ISSN tag from this page. --Keesiewonder ^talk 23:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All publications that are mentioned in this article, that also have articles of their own, now have either an ISSN or an OCLC listed in their respective article ... except for Creative Loafing Sarasota. I've tagged CL Sarasota with ISSN-needed and am untagging this CL article. Keesiewonder ^talk 22:55, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

I have proposed merging all four separate articles (Creative Loafing Atlanta, Creative Loafing Charlotte, Creative Loafing Sarasota, and Creative Loafing Tampa) into this article. There is little difference between the four articles, and all of the relevant information could easily be incorporated into this article. Horologium (talk) 18:21, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

After a total lack of discussion for more than a month, I have merged the articles as per my proposal. Horologium (talk) 00:21, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As a major contributor to these articles, I decided to recuse myself from discussion of the merge proposal. Although I prefer to keep them all separate, merging would be fine if the information is retained in the parent article. Instead, you simply deleted the content of the individual paper articles (including information about staff, ISSN/OCLC, circulation, more detailed history, etc.) and redirected them to the parent company article. I do object to this, as it is not the merge procedure as outlined at WP:MERGE, of which there are three options: Full-content paste merger, Selective paste merger, and Text dump merger. Why were none of these performed? - Tobogganoggin ^talk 18:27, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I totally failed to pay any attention to the data in the infoboxes, which is a bad oversight on my part (especially the circulation figures). Looking at the text of the individual articles, however, there is little in them that does not exist in the main article. I will correct the circulation, ISSN/OCLC and editorial staff deletions tonight, and add an infobox for the company. (I need to see if a single template exists which will incorporate all of them, or if I have to incorporate it all separately. Horologium (talk) 21:07, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, Part 2

This article looks like it hasn't been merged with the Creative Loafing (Atlanta) article or redirected. We seem to have two articles about the SAME newspaper. They should be merged into one! Neptune's Trident (talk) 01:56, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Creative Loafing (Atlanta) into Creative Loafing

Covers essentially the same material and is very small. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 18:37, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
