Sark at the 2006 Commonwealth Games
Sark doesn't have a Commonwealth Games Association, nor does it compete at the Commonwealth Games as a separate team, but as part of the Guernsey team. This article's continued existence is similar to having an article on Bavaria's performance at the FIFA World Cup. Bastin8 00:00, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Question: Is it true that Sark does not compete under its own name, but as part of the Guernsey team?  If so, then of course this should go.  OTOH, I notice that the Commonwealth Games template has a separate entry for Sark.  This of course doesn't prove anything, but is it possible Sark competes as its own entity? --Deville (Talk) 05:59, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Sark is not listed on the Commonwealth Games 2010 website - just Guernsey. On the Guernsey page of that website, helpfully labeled "Guerensay" and "Guyana", Sark is included in Guernsey's listings. On the official Commonwealth Games Federation website, Sark is listed as part of Guernsey's team. However, Sark Tourist Board implies, without saying so directly, that Sark has its own team. ➨ ≡ Я Ξ  DVΞRS ≡ 11:33, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'm positively certain that don't compete separately (and was just about to cite the exact same sources as Redvers just did, except with Guernsey CGA, too). In fact, the article recognises that itself ("Sark was represented at the 2006 Commonwealth Games by two shooters, Nick Dewe and Stefan Roberts, who compete for Guernsey in the Trap Pairs event"). The Sark tourism website is just doing its job as a tourist website: promoting the island as distinct from Guernsey. Bastin8 11:44, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, okay, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I found it exceedingly hard to actually find hard information on this. What is particularly frustrating is that I can't seem to find an official list of the countries which competed in the 2006 games on the official 2006 games website.  You'd think such a list would exist, but all I can get is a list of medal-winning countries.  Anyway, I can't find the information that Bastin is pointing to, but this link from Redvers seems pretty convincing.  Until someone can find an official link that Sark competes separately, I think we need to delete this page. --Deville (Talk) 02:33, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: There's a drop-down box of all participating teams here. I assume that that is sufficient to reach a consensus on this. Bastin8 12:46, 1 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete, merging any relevant information into the Guernsey at the 2006 Commonwealth Games article. Batmanand | Talk 07:21, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
