Original research by synthesis. Ther's no mention of a kingdom of Gozo in any of the citations listed in the article. They just say the King of Sicily ruled the island. Celia Homeford (talk) 09:15, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - WP:OR and also is just a copy paste of the Gozitan Nation article LegalSmeagolian (talk) 18:08, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:SYNTH. If any verifiable information does exist, it should fit in Gozitan Nation anyway.--estar8806 (talk) ★ 19:58, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete it's simply WP:OR which is not acceptable. Keivan.f^Talk 04:05, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Gozitan Nation. You could say that the King of Sicily (Ferdinand I) was also the "King of Gozo" for 3 years. Alternately, you could say there was no "Kingdom of Gozo" and that Gozo was just part of the Kingdom of Sicily. Either way, Ferdinand was a disengaged ruler preoccupied with the French and only became King because the 16,000 people on this little Mediterranean island asked him to be their King after throwing out the French. They weren't Sicilians. A local priest actually ran the island.

It's as if the people of Mayberry, North Carolina decided they'd better have a king. That's about how big an operation the Gozitan Nation nation was.

If someone looks for the "King of Gozo", a redirect will get them to the right place.

Comment: I wasn't aware of this article or discussion before. The creator just created King of the Gozitan Nation, a duplicate of this one, which I redirected to the Gozitan Nation article. If the conclusion of this AfD is "delete", that one should be deleted as well. Fram (talk) 13:22, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
DElete -- There is little or nothing that is not in Gozitan Nation article. See further my remarks under Queen Consort of Gozo
