Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Suvadiva atoll


 * 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 of the debate was MERGE to somewhere. But as Penya points out, this is not an AfD issue; AfD is for discussing deletion, and merges/redirects can be more usefully discussed on the respective talk pages. I will add a merge tag to the article, but will not bother to note this debate on talk. -Splash talk 21:53, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Suvadiva atoll
Suvadiva atoll, United Suvadive Republic, History of Suvadives and Suvadiva should all be merged into one article. All the other titles should be redirected. Also this article is somewhat misleading because it uses the map of current  Gaafu Alif Atoll and Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll,  or Huvadhu atoll and refer to it as Suvadiva atoll. Suvadiva atoll no longer exists and even if it did, it wasnt a one geographic atoll rather three geographic atolls. --Oblivious 14:24, 20 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Please see Merge. If merger is your goal, then AfD is not the place for this. Peyna 15:42, 20 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep, no merge. I agree that most every other one of them should be merged.  History should be merged back until it's bigger, the three different spellings for the political entity too.  However, the landmass deserves a separate article. gren グレン ? 17:35, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, I merged a bunch of them that needed to be merged (same content, etc.) but I do see it was just a historic name for another atoll or three. Not sure what to do. gren グレン ? 17:41, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Suvadiva atoll separate, merge the others, per gren. What does "Suvadiva atoll no longer exists" mean? rodii 23:15, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it means that the name was used under a separatist movement... but now that the movement is gone it's called the other names already listed. gren グレン ? 23:21, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah... thats right --Oblivious 07:14, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Aha. OK, changing my vote to neutral. I bow to Oblivious's knowledge about this. He has done fine work on the Maldives here. rodii 00:07, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
