Talk:Ringgold

Merge and redirect
This is a tiny place with nothing to see or do, that is known for "illegal drug activity and poverty.... the town's economy is stimulated by convenience stores, banks, Dollar General, SuperValu, Christus, and small businesses." It does not mean the criteria for an article under wv:wiaa. It should be redirected to Minden (Louisiana)]. None of the listings is worth moving to that article.

 * I see you are quoting from the Wikipedia article. I would agree with merging it somewhere, and if Minden is closest, fine, though there isn't much in that article, either (though from the Minden, Louisiana article, it would seem that there could be a bit more to add). There is one thing mentioned in Ringgold, Louisiana that could be at least somewhat significant, though: "Hebrew Missionary Baptist Church is the founding headquarters of the Louisiana Progressive Baptist State Convention, established by Henry F. Johnson, Jr." If there is some travel to Ringgold to visit that church or take part in conventions or something, it might be worth a mention somewhere (though not in a standalone article), but I don't know enough to determine that.

 * The LPBSC doesn't mention Ringgold on its website, so I doubt that it is much of a place of pilgrimage. Ground Zero (talk) 21:11, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, so really nothing travel-related to say about this place, then. Is the term even worth redirecting? Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:29, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I guess the choice is between deleting a real place, which a lot of people object to, or redirecting to an article that doesn't mention the place, which other people object to. I'm indifferent. I don't think spending time trying to build up an article for a place like this is a good use of time. Ground Zero (talk) 23:17, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * We definitely agree on that. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:19, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
