List of three parks, one being a redlink. A category (or a merge into Dominica) would be superior. Stifle (talk) 14:51, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge and/or redirect somewhere. Punkmorten (talk) 16:41, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Aren't redlinks supposed to be good? ZombiesOfRock (talk) 18:06, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * If you delete this all the countries next door will be like "HAHA you only have three national parks, no list for you". ZombiesOfRock (talk) 18:14, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Not to worry. We will admonish those countries to be civil, and if they persist, we will not let them play with the other countries. Mandsford (talk) 20:11, 23 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Merging seems perfectly reasonable. I just wish Stifle would've been bold and just done it. Categorization and merging don't require deletion. - Mgm|(talk) 19:50, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * A lot of other countries seem to have lists like this, but I wouldn't object to a merge into a new List of national parks in the Lesser Antilles, along the lines of List of national parks in the Baltics. Grutness...wha?  00:47, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Strong keep. Lists such as these are notable and three is more than enough to suffice. Simply needs expanding. --Balloholic (talk) 16:20, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:41, 28 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge sounds like a plan to me. Drmies (talk) 02:42, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I just filled in the third redlink (for Morne Diablotin National Park), which cancels one of the reasons for this AfD being put forward. The article is capable of standing on its own -- and it could actually be expanded, if someone wanted to put forth the time to do as much. Ecoleetage (talk) 21:31, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep I can't see a valid reason to delete. This list follows the precedent of "list of national parks in [country]," e.g. list of national parks in Egypt. Categories and lists are supposed to be two venues of conveying the same information, and neither is superior to the other. I can clean up the list if that is objectionable. ~  EDDY  ( talk / contribs / editor review ) ~ 22:15, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Now the article contains more than just a blanket list, it provides info a category can't. This and the no-longer-redlinks invalidate the reasoning provided by the nominator. - Mgm|(talk) 00:03, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep--Just because Dominica is a small island with few parks it doesn't mean is not notable for inclusion.--Jmundo (talk) 18:12, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep clearly appropriate list, as with other countries DGG (talk) 23:20, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
