Boston Medical Center program merge-in discussion (Round House Hotel)

Boston Medical Center is operating a clinical service/addiction service at the former site of a Best Western's round shaped hotel in Mass and Cass in Boston. It's a temporary stint that started in February 2022 and was supposed to sunset in July, but has been extended until September 2023. It has a lot of press now due to its current controversy, but I don't believe the less than two year stint has enduring notability to warrant having its own permanent article and I feel it merged into Boston Medical Center. Do you all have suggestions for different target or should the stand-alone article for Roundhouse Hotel (public services) remain permanently?

Chestnut Hill is a region and not a village. It’s said it was a village for the last decade but where are close arguments it can’t even be existing as a village. Can we please get to the bottom of this? I really do appreciate it.

This article defines Chestnut Hill as a village, and then links to Massachusetts Village. The list of villages in that article shows only one including parts of more than one municipality - Chestnut Hill. As they used to say - "One of these things is not like the others - one of these things does not belong." Telling people that Boston College is 'in Chestnut Hill' can only confuse them unless they have knowledge not contained in the article. This should be very simple - is the main campus in Boston or Newton or both? Plain writing and plain facts are always best. 73.227.213.55 (talk) 20:35, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
