Duplicate of Tonga Island (New Zealand) (more mature article). This (Tonga Island) article is 1) not the correct/consistent title and could be confused with Tonga Islands, 2) contains only a subset of the information of the other page (nothing additional), 3) is not linked to (as opposed to Tonga Island (New Zealand)

I'll propose the articles be merged

References[edit]

The reference here is either an error or a bad joke. Either way it's ripe for removal, unless someone objects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Isidorpax (talk • contribs) 15:31, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've replaced it. The coordinates were off too.-gadfium 21:31, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why exactly was it ripe for removal? Encyclopedia Britannica is a good source of information, is it not? btw, You didn't really give anyone any time to object.speednat (talk) 18:21, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Britannica article referenced was "Abdullah bin Abdul Kadir", but there's no url to check the content. Assuming this is the same person as Abdullah bin Abdul Kadir, there doesn't appear to be any relevance. It looks like the reference was an accidental paste of the wrong content.-gadfium 19:34, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That was me, I sometimes don't catch that mistake when I copy and paste. I will re-add, now that I know why, but with the correct info.speednat (talk) 23:43, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Propose to merge Tonga Island (New Zealand) to Tonga Island[edit]

I propose that Tonga Island (New Zealand) be merged into Tonga Island. The content is already merged, so this is really a proposal that the name "Tonga Island" does not need a disambiguator in parentheses. The disambiguation hatnote is sufficient to disambiguate the article from the country of Tonga. Nurg (talk) 09:11, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense. No dab needed; a hatnote can take care of any confusion. I've redirected to other article. Schwede 66 20:59, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
