Plants and animals of Belize

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article has never been more than a stub. We already have the large Flora of Belize and now we have the stub Fauna of Belize. There's no need to keep this article ... except maybe as a disambiguation page? Rennell435 (talk) 11:11, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete The articles you quoted have scientific names.  You could even probably merge those 2 articles into Fauna and flora of Belize.Curb Chain (talk) 11:40, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete The discussion page makes the history clear. It is now a remnant stub and can be treated as a fork. --AJHingston (talk) 13:02, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete and restore as a disambig only page, as a likely search term.  Lugnuts  (talk) 13:34, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep or Redirect There is no dispute that the topic is notable and the content encyclopedic.  There is a history of good-faith edits that should not be deleted.  According to the discussion page, content has been merged from this article...I don't know the details but there is some kind of copyright requirement to retain the edit history of such contributions.  Since the editors don't want to maintain the article with referenced content they can redirect it to Belize and be done with it.  Based on what has been said here at the AfD, I'd consider making it a two-item list with Flora of Belize and Fauna of Belize.  Unscintillating (talk) 05:50, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn, seeing as the general consensus here seems to be favour turning into disambiguation. That will keep the edit history intact. Rennell435 (talk) 09:47, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Or is it a list? Rennell435 (talk) 10:06, 13 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Change to a dab page. Bearian (talk) 17:10, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It's a list, not a dab page. A dab page identifies different topics that may be referred to by the same name. This page lists two subtopics of a single broader topic.  --R'n'B (call me Russ) 10:51, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
