Value of Page/Merger?[edit]

Just seeking opinions before I request an actual merger/deletion of this page. For the amount of information provided here, I cannot see what value this article has.

My primary contention is that all "hotel detectives" are ostensibly security guards employed by a hotel whom happen to have a more 'investigatory' role (and even then, that role is extremely limited). They are hotel security guards. I would argue that this should be a sub-section on the security guard page.

This is also an archaic title. One would be hard-pressed to find any hotel that uses this title any longer. Not that this necessarily matters in terms of the page's existence, but it plays a small role. It's not a term that people are looking-up enough to warrant a separate page.

This should redirect to a dedicated section/sub-section on the "security guard" article.

Thoughts?
