Merge[edit]

History of Brookfield, Connecticut is not a notable article. This article is about Brookfield; there's no reason to have three small sections in another article. Just merge them. Timneu22 00:14, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I created the separate article because the history section was already too long, and then I added so much to the history article that it's about as long as the Brookfield article. Please see Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles, where it is stated:

In shorter articles, if one subtopic has much more text than another subtopic, that may be an indication that that subtopic should have its own page, with only a summary presented on the main page.

And where it is also stated:

Wikipedia entries tend to grow in a way which lends itself to the natural creation of new entries. The text of any entry consists of a sequence of related but distinct subtopics. When there is enough text in a given subtopic to merit its own entry, that text can be excised from the present entry and replaced by a link. Some characteristics:

Longer articles are split into sections (each about several good-sized paragraphs long. Subsectioning can increase this amount)
Ideally many of those sections will eventually provide summaries of separate articles on the sub-topic covered in that section (a Main article or similar link would be below the section title—see Template:Main)

So the creation of the history article follows style guidelines.

The town history is also the subject of more than one book, and, it can be assumed, other types of coverage, making it notable under WP:N. Noroton 02:06, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

brookfield...[edit]

the forgotten town of fairfield county.

i think its safe to say that brookfield is probably the most forgotten town in the county, this is kind of unrelated to the article but I was just wondering if anyone else agrees with me too. Im not saying that its not part of fairfield county, im just wondering if anyone else thinks that people really overlook it too much and forget that its even their.

I'm pretty sure that title goes to Sherman, Connecticut. They're the only town in the county without a 203 area code.--AirportExpert (talk) 20:46, 21 April 2018 (UTC)AirportExpert.[reply]
