Talk:Imia islands

Why redirect to Imia/Kardak?
Sorry I (re-)instated the redirect before I noticed that it had been questioned and unmade before. I should have opened a discussion here before I did that.

The reasons I prefer the redirect are:


 * 1) This article essentially just duplicates information that was also contained in Imia/Kardak, formerly Imia-Kardak crisis.
 * 2) Having one article using only the Greek name, and other independent articles using both names side by side is misleading.
 * 3) As long as the international dispute continues to be unsolved, use of the double name seems preferable from a NPOV perspective.

We can still talk about whether it's preferable to have two separate articles, one just for the geographical information, and another for the political dispute. But this article previously was also trying to do both things at once. (E.g., the story about the American map was also used as an argument in the other article.) Lukas 14:55, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
