[edit] Monarch of Jamaica

Due to the debate below, I deleted the articles I created today and replaced them with a redirect to Monarchy in the Commonwealth Realm. These redirects can be replaced by new, more comprehensive articles, when available like Monarchy in Canada. I hope this settles the matter and we can have consistent Politics of series.

• Comment: Not only should that not be done while the discussion is ongoing, but there is no such thing as "the Commonwealth Realm". I have moved the article to Monarchy in the Commonwealth Realms. JPD (talk) 16:29, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Duplicates info already contained in the article Jamaica

• Delete. Hard to see how it can ever be more than a stub without duplicating info elsewhere; if there is anything unique, then merge into Jamaica. --BrownHairedGirl 09:24, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
• Also nominating Monarch of Saint Lucia. Also, delete both (merging any necessary info first). This user created quite a number of similar articles. Should I list them all here? My vote for all of them is to merge (if necessary) and delete. After considering Electionworld's reason for creating these articles, I change my vote to redirect any that do not have enough unique information to merit their own article, and keep any that do. I'm going to abstain from voting on where they should redirect to. --Icarus 09:48, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete both articles as per BrownHairedGirl.

• Keep. You are right, these are duplicates. I created for all the commonwealth realms articles on the monarch of. See e.g. Monarch of Belize. I did this because every country has a Politics of series. In this series allways a head of state article is included. It helps to find your way quickly. It would be nice if these Monarchs of XX could be enlarged, but at the moment this is what I can offer. Now it is proposed to delete these articles at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Monarch of Jamaica. Because of the consistency of the Politics of series, I oppose the deletion of these articles.

• Merge I think that a redirect to the relevant section of Jamaica would be the best solution. User:Electionworld has contributed several other Monarch of .... articles Dalamori 09:38, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
  • If you want to merge, please create redirect to Commonwwalth Realm. Are you goint to delete the entry on Queen of New Zealand too?Electionworld = Wilfried (talk 09:41, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: Queen of New Zealand has a lot of substantive content which does not appear to duplicate content elsewhere. If the same applied to this article, I'd say keep, but it doesn't. --BrownHairedGirl 09:53, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
      • So, let's put a stub-tag into it.
        • Comment Redirecting "to the relevant section" isn't possible. Sure, you can put a section name in the link (and hope it stays that way), but the redirect isn't going to take you to that section, but rather just to the top of the page of the article. Gene Nygaard 07:22, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure that the redirect to commonwealth realms would serve the functionality you had hoped for when creating this series of articles. I think a redirect to the appropriate section of the parent country's article or a redirection to the article on HRM Queen Elizabeth II would be best.
    • The best place would be Commonwealth Realm#Monarch's role in the Realms or a separate article Monarchy in the Commonwealth Realm. Electionworld = Wilfried (talk 11:06, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - there's nothing to warrant a separate article. — ciphergoth 10:07, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Essentially, this is a single fact, not an article.Obina 10:50, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and allow for expansion; like Monarchy in Canada. Perhaps rename for consistency. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 11:06, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, and (perhaps) rename as per CanadianCaesar. E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 13:13, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, not needed on a seperate article of one of the Queen's realms. Then we will have quite a lot of articles like this. --Terence Ong 13:45, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep in some form. Possibly rename. —Nightstallion (?) ^{Seen this already?} 16:41, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep WikieZach| talk 19:33, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The page is now a redirect to Monarchy in the Commonwealth Realm, which looks just fine. See also similar AfDs: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Monarch of the Cook Islands, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Monarch of Barbados. — TheKMan^talk 21:01, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
• Strong support for TheKMan's fait accompli above. ProhibitOnions 23:28, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
