Just like the Kingsgate article, I propose that we redirect this one into the Eastport–Kingsgate Border Crossing article. There's only a few sources, and I feel that a couple of sentences can fit in the border crossing rather than being placed in an article that feels like a stub with nothing interesting or pleasing to the reader.

  Comment: Note that WP:MEDIUM is generally considered unreliable. No comment on the other sources. Let'srun (talk) 02:04, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

• merge/expand The issue here is really that now the border crossing has basically co-opted the town. I think the latter makes the most sense as a section within the crossing article rather than as a separate article. Also, I have to point out that the only "good" source here, that is, the only one that has content which could be used as the basis for writing article text, is not likely to cut the mustard as a reliable source, given the lack of authorship info and citations.

I agree with the proposed redirection, I feel it will make the page more useful. 24vikie (talk) 21:18, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
