Talk:Sea of Crete

The cities here need description of what they actually are and why people should visit them, as opposed to just a location of where they are! (WT-en) TSandell 12:44 4/3/06

 * Delete. A body of water. Globe-trotter (talk) 11:05, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per Globe-trotter. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 13:22, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep and enlarge or merge/redirect as appropriate. Folks, this seems to be a region, not just a body of water. From the article: "The Sea of Crete (Greek: Κρητικό Πέλαγος Kritiko Pelagos) is the region south of the Aegean Sea that is at the north of the island Crete and south of the Cyclades." It then lists prefectures. Seas don't have prefectures, but regions do. Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:32, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Ikan Kekek, actually Crete is a region, sea of Crete is only a body of water, and all the prefectures listed in this article are belong to Crete region. --Saqib (talk) 13:00, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Saqib, you seem to be missing the point of what Ikan is saying. The Sea of Crete itself is a body of water, but the article treats it as if it were a region. This article would have been better titled Crete and surrounding islands, Islands in the Sea of Crete, or something along those lines. However, the overlap of this article's coverage with Crete is such that the most sensible solution is to merge any valuable information then redirect to Crete. Deletion is not an option as the islands in the Sea of Crete are real places. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 19:39, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Result: Redirected to Crete. --Saqib (talk) 06:30, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Crete - All the prefectures and almost all the cities listed already belong to Crete. The few that do not belong to the Cyclades or East Aegean Islands. If you look at the map at Greek Islands you can see that all islands already have a legitimate grouping. This article is indeed an unneeded attempt at a body of water article.

 * Redirect per above. --Saqib (talk) 06:34, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
