Talk:San Luis Pass

About merge suggestion
Reasons against merge with Galveston: - Sidelight12 (talk) 20:52, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * This place is not entirely on Galveston Island/City/County.
 * San Luis County park is its own attraction on this location that isn't on Galveston either.
 * There used to be a fishing pier here that wasn't on the Galveston side.
 * A merge might work if the eastern end of Follet's peninsula/island got its own article, and each article had information about its side of the San Luis Pass. Some information would be duplicated on each page.


 * This article will need to be merged somewhere, as it doesn't meet the threshhold for article status (unless I'm totally mistaken about what this is about). There is more information at Bodies of water. I know far less about the Houston Area than I do about Wikivoyage policies, so I can't be too helpful, but to my eye it seems that San Luis County Park is extremely close to Galveston, and therefore should be fine to include in the Galveston article. The sort of accuracy demanded by an encyclopedia isn't so crucial in a travel guide, the mission of which is just to be helpful to a traveler visiting the area. See Chicago/Hyde Park, which covers an area substantially larger than Hyde Park itself. --Peter Talk 21:26, 14 June 2013 (UTC)


 * It could work out. I'm thinking there should be a section of places within the vicinity of the main article, to make it accurate. I was fascinated by this place, because I didn't know there was a toll bridge there to another area when I was already familiar with Galveston. The name of the land or the toll bridge wasn't readily available. Past the County Park, it is so deserted it is scary, but its beaches are public. This part of Follet's Island/Peninsula only has/had to offer, public beaches with different rules than Galveston's, the county park, the destroyed fishing pier, and other amenities close to the pass, which is not lengthy. - Sidelight 12 Talk 01:23, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
