Talk:Longfellow Boom

Merge proposal

I propose merging Longfellow Boom into Longfellow, Minneapolis. I think the content in Longfellow Boom can easily be explained in the context of this article with some trimming. The booms are only notable in the context of the community. Minnemeeples (talk) 22:52, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Oppose (article creator) it meets WP:GNG and other such phenomena have similar articles, such as Bloop, The Hum, and Forest Grove Sound. ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 22:59, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Bloop and The Hum are non-local phenomena. Forest Grove Sound, a one-time local incident, has an unresolved deletion discussion on its talk page from February 2025; if not deleted it should likely be merged with Forest Grove, Oregon as fails WP:SUSTAINED and succumbs to WP:SBST. The Longfellow, Minneapolis article could easily absorb the content from the Longfellow Boom without undue weight. Minnemeeples (talk) 23:19, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

Support merge per WP:NOPAGE. There's no reason for this one aspect of Longfellow to be separate from the Longfellow article. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 04:41, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

Oppose. The concept is individually notable unto itself per WP:GNG which is enough of a policy reason for me. Personally speaking as a former resident of the area—this is more so my own stance and not a technical point—I can see a possibility where readers outside of our neighborhood may be interested in the Longfellow Boom itself as a mysterious occurrence while not at all being interested in Longfellow, Minneapolis. In that case, I support its existence as a standalone page of interest separate from the neighborhood. Phibeatrice (talk) 22:14, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
