List of colonial governors in 1632

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

Delete. No content here. Sibitysam (talk) 05:53, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 16:17, 20 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: Per WP:BUNDLE, would this AfD set a precedent for the treatment of everything listed at Colonial governors by year? Gonzonoir (talk) 21:13, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Sure there's content--it has to be seen in context with the other governor by year articles. There is more to be added-- for example, Sebastiaen Jansen Krol in New Netherland was in office 1632-3. .  DGG (talk) 02:03, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per DGG, and since the notability of each year in the Colonial governors by year set seems to be equal. Gonzonoir (talk) 10:27, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as a part of the Colonial governors by year series; however, I wonder if merging these into decades(e.g. List of colonial governors in the 1630s) might be better, at least for the 17th century and earlier. DHowell (talk) 03:32, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Beyond having no content, this article has no context. Governors of what?  What constitutes of governor?  Even the year is in doubt since one of the links is to the Governors in 1633.  As it is, it only has one point in it, a redlink governor from Angola.  If this list were to be expanded to what (I assume) is the subject, it would be indiscriminate and even then not appropriate for inclusion. For me, there's no possible way to spin this so that it could be kept.  Themfromspace (talk) 05:03, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * "Governors of what?" Governors of colonies. "What constitutes a governor?" See Governor. The link to 1633 is a navigational link to the next year in the series, common to all lists in this and the state leaders series. What evidence do you have that a complete list of colonial governors would be "indiscriminate"? What if it were only a list of notable colonial governors (assuming there is such a thing as a non-notable colonial governor)? DHowell (talk) 01:15, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of state leaders in 1632, agree that this is a tad broad. Secret account 14:17, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * "Colonial governors" are not "state leaders", so are you suggesting a merge? And how broad could a list be that currently has only one entry six entries? I know there should be more, but how many colonies were there in 1632? A few English colonies, a Portuguese colony or two, some Danish and Dutch colonies, perhaps? It would be nice if we had a "list of colonies in 1632" or "list of colonies in the 1630s" as well. DHowell (talk) 01:15, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I've expanded the list to six entries. DHowell (talk) 01:55, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
