To merge or redirect South Carolina Military Academy into The Citadel for overlap. Klbrain (talk) 13:33, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The same institution, seems unnecessarily confusing to have a separate page, especially with so little context. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 13:48, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support, for the reasons Eddie891 gives. —DocWatson42 (talk) 05:16, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

History of The Citadel might be a better target, given that that name was only in use until 1910. Klbrain (talk) 16:16, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Changing it to a redirect is simple enough. Buffs (talk) 16:21, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: That source shows that one astronaut is a graduate of The Citadel; not exactly "numerous astronauts." Day Creature (talk) 03:03, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
