Talk:Countries of the Bay of Bengal

Title & scope
"Countries dependent on something" isn't a good title on which to base an article's encyclopaedic scope, not least because "dependence" here is undefined and only vaguely referred to without referencing reliable sources. From what I see, this article is actually about the economic and political importance of the Bay of Bengal as a whole. It should be renamed to something more reflective of that scope. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:34, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your input. Any suggestions for a suitable alternative would be very much welcome. I see there is Arab states of the Persian Gulf, as a similar type of topic.--Fez Cap 12 (talk) 14:44, 25 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Half a year late, but would Countries of the Bay of Bengal work? Juxlos (talk) 00:15, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

I've renamed the article per the above. But I'm still not seeing significant coverage of the subject as a specific regional grouping of countries; the article as it stands still appears to be mostly WP:original synthesis. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:04, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
