[edit] Alligator Rivers

Problem: Not encyclopedic - if to be kept, it should be cleaned up to conform with Wikipedia quality, and put under a better title. Molotov (talk) 19:12, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

    • Keep per Capitalist Roadster. Molotov (talk) 21:03, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete this and redirect to Alligator River. There are couple of links to this related to Crocodiles. However, the correct title of the article should be Alligator River a crocodile infested river in the Northern Territory of Australia. I will create an article on this river. However, this should be deleted as completely unrelated to the Alligator River and redirected to the Alligator River. . It seems that there are three Alligator Rivers in the same area of the Northern Territory. I will rewrite the article tonight. It was named by Captain Phillip Parker King who thought the crocodiles were alligators. Capitalistroadster 04:22, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I have started rewriting the article with more to come. The article should retain its name because of the three Rivers. The Encyclopædia Britannica uses the same title while the Australian Encyclopædia uses the title Alligator Rivers Region for its article. These rivers are highly significant with part of the rivers flowing through the Kakadu National Park which is a World Heritage Site due to both its human and natural heritage significance. I will be working on this article over the next few days when time permits. Capitalistroadster 10:31, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
