edit- Another one of those Oregon articles. Merge with nearest city unless the lake is a destination. — (WT-en) Ravikiran 22:12, 14 March 2006 (EST)
- THIS PAGE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!!! DO NOT DELETE!!! -- (WT-en) Creightg 23:39, 16 March 2006
- Okay, the lake looks large enough on its own, you can camp inside it, and it looks like it is part of something called Willamette National Forest [1]. Just how big is this whole place? — (WT-en) Ravikiran 20:01, 16 March 2006 (EST)
- Suggest merging it into a Willamette National Forest page. There's precedent for national-forest pages, and this one would be worth creating. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 21:43, 16 March 2006 (EST)
- Replacement article Waldo Lake (redirected to) has a lot of good new content by (WT-en) Creightg. It's a valid destination. Keep Waldo Lake. -- (WT-en) Paul Richter 00:28, 17 March 2006 (EST)
- Move to Willamette National Forest as the lake seems to be an attraction within the larger national forest. -- (WT-en) Ryan 00:44, 17 March 2006 (EST)
- Agreed - move it into Willamette National Forest (when does the discussion stop and the moving start?) (WT-en) Tsandell 11:57, 27 May 2006 (EDT)
- Actually, the discussion is over. This text is here only as an archive of the discussion on the Project:votes for deletion page. Since there was support for keeping the article, it was kept. But if you feel the content should be merged into Willamette National Forest (and this article turned into a REDIRECT there), you can do that. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 12:50, 27 May 2006 (EDT)
- Waldo Lake is among the most chemically dilute lakes in the world, and the most studied ultraoligotrophic lake in the United States. Though it is true that for recreationalists the lake is simply a pretty feature of in a larger national forest; it is important to note that this lake is THE destination for the scientific community, and has historical significance outside the realm of the surrounding park.
