Formal request has been received to merge: Spanish settlement in Jamaica into Colony of Santiago; dated: October 2023. Proposer's Rationale: Both deal about the same subject, but the former is unsourced, unorganized, merely a translation from the Spanish wikipedia article, and apparently abandoned. Anuchikibrikiivdamke. Discuss here. GenQuest ^"scribble" 07:01, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Same subject but Colony of Santiago is clearly the better article. Articles have similar levels of page views which makes me think readers will be better served if they're all directed to Colony of Santiago. Glendoremus (talk) 15:09, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I also agree with the request to merge given the former is unsourced and does not seem to have regular updates. It would be easier to combine them both than try to maintian both articles. Jurisdicta (talk) 03:54, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
