[edit] Military of the Faroe Islands

There is nothing useful to say. As this stub says, there is no military of the Faroe Islands. Susvolans ⇔ 11:47, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete unencyclopedic becauase there is no information. Logophile 14:23, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - we also have articles on some small countries' political parties that say that said countries have no political parties (see Elections and parties in Saint Helena. --Idont Havaname 14:26, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Torn Really, I don't know what to do with these articles. We went through this on Military of Hong Kong and ended up re-directing to the local barracks of the Chinese army. It drives home the point that HK doesn't have it's own military. Before re-directing we did all agree that the article stating that HK had no military of it's own did say something to the reader. This article could be re-directed to an appropriate article about Denmarks role in providing protection to the Faroe Islands, or it could be left as is. SchmuckyTheCat 15:10, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge i.e. don't delete - it does have something to say. Dlyons493 Talk 15:18, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep The fact that a small country has no military (and the circumstances surrounding its choice -- or need -- to be defenseless) is encyclopedic and downright interesting. Xoloz 15:34, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, informative, unless somehow you already knew the Faroe islands had no military, in which case you didn't need to look it up. Kappa 19:19, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per above arguments. And ideally, all military articles would be "empty" ;) Punkmorten 19:36, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect to Faroe Islands. No potential to ever be more than a stub. TomTheHand 19:44, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete --MacRusgail 22:05, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect to Faroe Islands, it'll be notable (sort of) as a fact that way. Makenji-san 22:59, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to either Faroe Islands or Military of Denmark. It is an autonomous region, not a nation state, and therefore unsurprisingly has no independent military. Having an article is therefore pointless, though the defence of the isles is a worthy section for either of the afore mentioned articles. (this is not a vote for keep as is).

• Merge and redirect to Military of Denmark. The Danish military has a Faroe Islands Command but Wikipedia doesn't have an article about that (compare Greenland Command (Denmark)). --Metropolitan90 03:16, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. There is no information here; the fact that Denmark is responsible for the Faroes defense is already in the Faroe Islands article. MCB 03:36, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, rename (as Faroe Islands Command (Denmark)) and expand according to Greenland Command (Denmark). Unlike military of Greenland, which contains information on the non-Danish units, a separate military of Faroe Islands article does not seem to be necessary. — Instantnood 08:49, 11 October 2005 (UTC) (modified 07:33, 12 October 2005 (UTC))
• Delete redundant page. Bwithh 23:40, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
