-I propose this article be renamed ''Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting''. The new title would more accurately reflect the article's subject. The current title, ''Girl Guides'', is too similar to the article [[Girl Guide]] and is confusing. I additionally propose that the page ''Girl Guides'' redirects to [[Girl Guide and Girl Scout]] and that pages are created called ''Girl Guiding'' and ''Girl Scouting'' respectively, that redirect to this article.

-I should make it clear that the page [[Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting]] actually already exists. It currently redirects to [[Girl Guide and Girl Scout]]. This is confusing as well. With the changes I'm suggesting, if it ends in -ing, it's about the movement. If it doesn't end in -ing, it's about the section/age group. [[User:Kingbird|Kingbird]] ([[User talk:Kingbird|talk]]) 06:53, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
-:Support, makes sense to me. Let's wait 3-5 days for more input. <span style="font-family: verdana;"> — [[User:Rlevse|<span style="color:#060;">'''''R''levse'''</span>]] • [[User_talk:Rlevse|<span style="color:#990;">Talk</span>]] • </span> 11:11, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
-'''Oppose''' at this point, because I think some preliminary centralised discussion should take place first, if it hasn't already (and if it has, then link to it please). There are at least two open related requests at this time: This RM, and a requested merge between ''[[Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting|Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting]]'' and ''Girl Guides''.
-The worldwide situation is extremely complicated and further organisational changes are inevitable in the long term, see [[Scouting#Co-educational]].
-There's an overall plan for the relevant articles at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Scouting]] which includes the observations
-''[[Girl Guide|Girl Guide]], [[Girl Scout|Girl Scout]] - redirect to GG&GS (US line of thinking)''
-and
-''[[Boy Scouts|Boy Scouts]], [[Girl Guides|Girl Guides]], etc - General summary pages that have see also links to other Scouting pages. Used to avoid to lead users to more indepth articles, no longer disambiguation pages due to all the confusion of different naming conventions. All other '''plurals''' redirect to the '''singular''' per Wikipedia standard, not to Scouting or a separate organization oriented article''
-so rather than reinventing the wheel, let's see whether this plan is still a good one, and if not let's discuss and either abandon or update it rather than ignoring it. [[User:Andrewa|Andrewa]] ([[User talk:Andrewa|talk]]) 06:43, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
-:As you have requested a centralised discussion, I have opened one at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Scouting#Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting article modifications]]. I have responded to your comments there. [[User:Kingbird|Kingbird]] ([[User talk:Kingbird|talk]]) 05:55, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
-::I've left comments on [[WT:SCOUT]] that cover a number of articles with this type of issue.  You can't separate the person from the movement; you can't have a Girl Scout without Girl Scouting and vice versa.  In trying to create a universal article covering 144 different national Scout organizations with 144 different programs we end up with an article of generalities.  --<i><b>—&nbsp;[[User:Gadget850|<font color = "gray">Gadget850&nbsp;(Ed)</font>]]<font color = "darkblue">&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Gadget850|''talk'']]</sup></font></b> - </i> 12:58, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
-::: This article should be titled "Guides" - a Guide in most countries now can be a girl or a boy - so the title is not gender correct. --[[User:Gothgirlangel1981|Gothgirlangel1981]] ([[User talk:Gothgirlangel1981|talk]]) 18:00, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
