Talk:Dawson, Colfax County, New Mexico, 1923 Theatre Events

FamilySearch Wiki is a tool people can use to learn how to find their ancestors. It offers information on how to find, use, and analyze records of genealogical value. The site’s content is variously targeted to beginners, intermediate researchers, and experts.

Some topics which should be included can detract from the site’s purpose if covered in unnecessary depth such as History of a place.

A possible solution to deletion: I would capture the lead in paragraph of the Opera House in Dawson, Colfax County, New Mexico and merge it into the main page for this township. New Mexico records for smaller townships are from hard to difficult to impossible to locate. By placing the Dawson theatre info on the main page and directing the researcher to the existing newspaper archives on that page, the lead and the intent of this page is preserved.

I suggest deleting the general history of theatre - that can be found elsewhere and is not genealogically related. In fact, the more I type this the more I find salvaging the concept of this page and merging it with the main page for Dawson is a win-win situation.
