Should Same-sex marriage in the Pitcairn Islands be re-directed to Same-sex marriage in the United Kingdom? Me-123567-Me (talk) 20:52, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, it should be redirected to Same-sex marriage in the United Kingdom. Prcc27 (talk) 21:01, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The article should not be redirected. Jersey and Isle of Man have separate articles. I don't see why the Pitcairn can't. Ron 1987 (talk) 21:37, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- A) Neither of those jurisdictions have same-sex marriage and B) neither of those articles are stubs. Prcc27 (talk) 21:42, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Both of them were stubs at first and were expanded over time. Ron 1987 (talk) 21:46, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, a redirect is not appropriate, as the Pitcairn Islands are not part of the UK, and (as Ron says), there are many more of these territories around... L.tak (talk) 21:49, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Clarificaton I had meant to say to the UK article. Sorry for the confusion; and I don't think it should be re-directed. Me-123567-Me (talk) 02:25, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What about an article "Same-sex marriage in the British Overseas Territories" with a section on each territory? Most have only a few thousand inhabitants and legalisation will likely be as "easy" as happened in the Pitcairn Islands. We could still have a separate article if there happens to be more content on a certain territory. SPQRobin (talk) 03:00, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Except same-sex marriage isn't legal in any of them except the Pitcairn Islands. The other articles are about recognition of same-sex unions. Me-123567-Me (talk) 03:24, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - There currently isn't any other such article concerning a British overseas territory. The point is to combine information of similar, small jurisdictions, anticipating further legal developments in those territories, instead of creating for each territory a new article of stub length. We can also call it "Recognition of same-sex unions in the British Overseas Territories" if the title is the issue. Same-sex marriage is recognition of same-sex unions in any case. SPQRobin (talk) 11:51, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - My issue is that I don't want it called Recognition of same-sex unions in the British Overseas Territories. Me-123567-Me (talk) 21:10, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - But if the article was titled with same-sex marriage, then I suppose I could support one article. Me-123567-Me (talk) 20:43, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, for purposes of consistency with pages for other territoriesMoonboy54 (talk) 05:40, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
