Antarctic territorial claims

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article used to give an overview of Antarctic claims, which are now in List of Antarctic territories, and discusses the Antarctic Treaty System, which has its own article. Those two are enough to cover the topic, and having this article in between will create confusion. Classical geographer (talk) 09:22, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment There does seem to be little need for this, but I'm concerned about some loss of discussion of the de facto legal situation with regard to suspended claims. --Dhartung | Talk 09:39, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge with List of Antarctic territories. If the information here was merged with the list there, we may be looking at FLC. STORMTRACKER    94  Go Irish! 11:05, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge List of Antarctic territories to this one. In essence I believe this title is better...Inge (talk) 13:03, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge this and List of Antarctic territories to List of Antarctic territorial claims, as being a yet better title. —Quasirandom (talk) 15:19, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge as Quasirandom suggests. I am leery of the distinction between "territories" and "territorial claims". De jure, none of these claims extends beyond national jurisdiction unless there is a bilateral treaty. --Dhartung | Talk 18:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per above.--Berig (talk) 19:48, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment As for the title List of Antarctic territories, which I agree might be interpreted as an endorsement of claims as territories, please take note of the preceding discussions on the talk page of that article and on my own talk page. Classical geographer (talk) 08:36, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
