Comment I'm not hellbent on keep this as a standalone article but we out to keep some record of proposed/unrealized submarine communications cables somewhere. Could be nice to divide List of international submarine communications cables into groups like "active", discontinued", and "unrealized".Crunchydillpickle🥒 (talk) 07:00, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would be good with that and making this a redirect to the list. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:16, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you speak to which notability policy would allow this article to continue as it is? notability is a requirement to be an article. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:47, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Final relist. I see a suggestion to divide an article, is this the target article you are suggesting? It's not clear what the consensus is here.

Comment: I support redirecting to List of international submarine communications cables, which could then be re-worked. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:05, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Suggestion: There is coverage in multiple independent reliable sources and I suspect that notability could be proven if someone developed and referenced the article. However, nobody has been interested enough to develop it much. There is not even an article for its successor project, the Hawaiki Cable, which is much more notable as it is an operational cable, and there is arguably demand for an article. I suggest we rename this "Hawaiki Cable", do basic reformatting, keeping the info about the SPIN predecessor, then wait and see whether anyone develops it. An article on an operational cable is much more likely to attract editor attention than a defunct cable proposal from the 2000s. Nurg (talk) 01:09, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
