Merge and redirect to Skiff. --Reinoutr (talk) 21:33, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Skiff. There is in principle no reason why one could not build an article on sailing skiffs; a quick search shows the subject is notable, with a good history of this sort of boat. But this article is largely redundant with the main skiff page, so a merge back in seems appropriate until someone decides to write a well-sourced main article. --Mark viking (talk) 22:29, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 00:08, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Dinghy sailing. Sailing skiffs seem to be a specific subset of sailing dinghies native to Australia and New Zealand. Further, I think the skiff sailboats are relatively unrelated to a traditional skiff. I would additionally favor moving the Racing sailing boats section of the skiff article to the dinghy sailing article. Mindfrieze (talk) 16:31, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
