History of Serranilla Bank

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A bank of sand in the Caribbean with no majorly notable history except for an overlap in territorial claims that is already described in detail at Serranilla Bank. Whether it meets notability requirements is questionable, but this doesn't seem to matter as there really isn't all that much potential that would warrant a forking of the main article. I redirected it to that article, but it was reverted. Deletion is probably best as it wouldn't classify as a viable search term.  Night w   13:27, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Redirect to Serranilla Bank for now until a full length article can be written, if it can..♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:29, 13 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. Reasonable stub with some sources. Needs work. Alarbus (talk) 13:29, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect. I created the article as it was a redlink in the "history of every US state and island template": Template:U.S. political divisions histories. I doubt it can be justified as a separate article. Tom B (talk) 13:59, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * And that template should be replaced with United States topic, where we can easily remove that set of (perpetual red)links as unnecessary.  Night w   14:15, 13 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Serranilla Bank as per Blofeld. That keeps the blue link in the template. If the section grows to hold enough content, it could always be split out. But the main point of interest about the bank seems to be the history of disputes, so a split would need careful justification. Aymatth2 (talk) 15:16, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect The entire material has already been merged by Dr. Blofeld. Short of beings from outer space landing there, or similarly unpredictable developments, the main article for this essentially uninhabited tiny reef, is extremely unlikely to grow to the point where a breakout article can be justified. It's not a likely search term, but a redirect from it will solve the difficulty of the redlink in the template, just as it does for History of Johnston Atoll   DGG ( talk ) 17:46, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect There's almost no hope of this surviving as an article, but there's a possibility someone may search for it. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 12:25, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
