Name change: Melville and Bathurst Islands[edit]

If this article is about both islands then why isn't the article named so? Redirects are able to gracefully handlepages linking to either still. — Донама 00:53, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd oppose that rename, as then there's no reason at all not to merge with Tiwi Islands. As it is now, the choices are:

leave as they are
split Bathurst Island, Northern Territory out to a separate article
merge this article with Tiwi Islands since it appears to be about both islands anyway.

Sure. Needs to be a Bathurst Island article. — Донама 02:53, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
