Talk:Melville Island (Northern Territory)

Name change: Melville and Bathurst Islands
If this article is about both islands then why isn't the article named so? Redirects are able to gracefully handlepages linking to either still. &mdash; Донама 00:53, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I'd oppose that rename, as then there's no reason at all not to merge with Tiwi Islands. As it is now, the choices are:
 * leave as they are
 * split Bathurst Island, Northern Territory out to a separate article
 * merge this article with Tiwi Islands since it appears to be about both islands anyway.

 * Sure. Needs to be a Bathurst Island article. &mdash; Донама 02:53, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
