Scope

[edit]

The scope of this project is all articles which fall within the following categories:

We acknowledge up front that there may be other WikiProjects, both now and in the future, which deal directly with individual nations or areas within the above. We are grateful for their efforts, and will concentrate our own on those areas which are not covered by a currently existing project.

Notes:

  1. ^ a b c d e f g the Bahamas, Bermuda, Guyana, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Suriname, and the Turks and Caicos Islands, while not Caribbean countries, have also been included within the scope of this project.
  2. ^ a b c d e The Bahamas, Bermuda, Guyana, Suriname, and the Turks and Caicos Islands are members of CARICOM
  3. ^ a b The Netherlands Antilles dissolved on October 10, 2010.
  4. ^ Saint Pierre and Miquelon is a North Atlantic island which is an overseas territory of France and has common interests with Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Saint Barthélemy.


WikiProject Latin America has considerable overlap with our project, but also covers Central and South American countries

Proposed deletions

  • 21 Nov 2024 – Dwane Husbands (talk · edit · hist) was PRODed by Geschichte (t · c): One featuring credit does not notability make. Similar case to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hittman, who only featured on an album. Notability-tagged for 13 years. "is claimed to have released two singles" - this is not encyclopedic.
  • 18 Nov 2024 – Movement for Grassroots Democracy (talk · edit · hist) was PRODed by Toweli (t · c): doesn't appear to have significant coverage, never won any seats in parliament
  • 18 Nov 2024 – Anguilla Patriotic Movement (talk · edit · hist) was PRODed by Toweli (t · c): doesn't appear to have significant coverage, never won any seats in parliament
