I've commenced a clean-up and, when complete, will look to migrate this article from Lake Hume to Hume Dam in line with work that I am doing on all man-made reservoirs in New South Wales. Articles exist for natural lakes (e.g.

I would support a merge and suggest that seems to be the concensus above from admittedly only a ffew contributers over quite some time. The title is probably better to be Lake Hume as that is the body of water's official

Just seeing if I can take care of some of the proposed merge backlog. Can this conversation move towards consensus one way or the other so the tag can be taken off or the articles merged?
627:
If I'd found your first example, I'd suggest merging them, too. The second is borderline, but the lake article is fairly short. In this case, there is hardly anything useful in

My view is still to merge, probably under the title of Lake Hume, but I don't feel strongly which name is primary (Hume Dam, Lake Hume, Hume Weir). I'd add the next upstream
902: 907: 242: 147: 912: 635:. In fact the dam article has more useful information about the lake than the lake article does!

I agree that the articles should be merged. Local residents use either name to describe and locate tje same place, Emily

I'm not convinced. Most times where a lake is formed by a dam there are separate articles on Knowledge for the two:
460: 440: 854:, etc. Just because locals call it by one name doesn't mean that is the method that should be adopted here. 758: 190: 109: 129: 851: 644: 754: 699: 208: 125: 640: 394: 725: 161: 55: 552:

I've merged the two articles into Lake Hume. A further clean-up is still required though.

I also support the merging of these two small articles. As a local I can agree with
