Merger proposal[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to merge the 4 articles mentioned below to Same-sex marriage in Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. This has been performed by moving Same-sex marriage in Aruba to that page; partially rewrite, and to implement information from Same-sex marriage in Curaçao.

At present there are 4 articles on same-sex marriage in the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Caribbean:

and Same-sex marriage in the Caribbean Netherlands would be thinkable... The articles on aruba, sint maarten, curacao and the Netherlands Antilles are very similar (the latter three: very, very similar) and are based on the fact that same sex marriage is not possible but that same sex marriages from the Netherlands have to be accepted. I think the easiest and most comprehensive treatment of this subject would be in a single new article. My title proposal is Same-sex marriage in Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and the Caribbean Netherlands but I am open to new titles.. Let me know what you think below...

merge as suggested (proposer opinion...) L.tak (talk) 07:45, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Caribbean Netherlands is dispensable. The Netherlands Antilles not exist anymore. See Dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles. It should be titled Same-sex marriage in Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. Ron 1987 12:30, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

I could live with that; only 2 years until the Caribbean Netherlands get their same-sex marriage (at least, that term is in the law now) and the Neth. Antilles could indeeed link to a section, so the name does not need to be in the title... L.tak (talk) 16:20, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You changed the title to And the Caribbean Netherlands. The Caribbean Netherlands is absolutely dispensable, because these islands only implemented Dutch law. Nothing more. Ron 1987 14:22, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Although it might seem a bit pointy; it was a simple copy paste error. I meant to remove the part "and the caribbean netherlands" from the original article name change suggestion... (btw for info on the specific situation of the caribbean nehterlands: see the specific section now at same-sex marriage in the Netherlands.. Rectifiying my error now!
