Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of cities in the Netherlands Antilles


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was move‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. to List of cities in the Dutch Carribean and then editorially re-scope the article.

Note that this discussion can't force the merge of List of cities in Aruba into this new article as a mandate, so I would encourage others to do this editorially (either by being bold, or alternatively by opening a discussion on the talk page of the Aruba list).

Country that no longer exists. Only one source listed. Interstellarity (talk) 02:42, 15 November 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: Relisting. I don't see the point of moving an article that editors are advocating Merging to a different target article. You can always create a Redirect from the suggested new page title. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 02:19, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep as meeting WP:LISTPURP. It's grouped by island so is an informational list, and it's also a navigational list for a reader seeking information on cities in the former country. The lack of existence of the country is not a problem for the list. &mdash;siro&chi;o 08:48, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Move to List of cities in the Dutch Caribbean and merge List of cities in Aruba into it. I agree with nom that we don't need an article on a defunct entity, but there probably should be one for the broader topic rather than pages for the individual islands, especially because in most of these places the cities are not politically independent.

 * Agree with merge as stated. Keeps the information in a relevant list.  EmeraldRange  (talk/contribs) 14:35, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment Liz, I think Reywas92 is suggesting a "reverse merge" of List of cities in Aruba into this article, plus a rename. I'm supportive of that in principle, but I don't think it's a proper outcome of AfD as that article is not tagged. Effectively that's a keep/move, with broad support for a related followup BOLD merge that would probably not be performed by the closer. &mdash;siro&chi;o
 * Move as suggested by Reywas92 with his merge into included! Thank you, Reywas92! No real case for deletion or unchanged keeping. The list itself can use updates. gidonb (talk) 14:47, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
