LORAN-C transmitter Afif[edit]

A very short article that does not assert its notability with very few sources or articles linking to it. The article has also been edited by only one or two editors. миражinred (speak, my child...) 07:05, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge them all into a list, no? --brew crewer (yada, yada) 08:05, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support merge, all one or two lines long. the wub "?!" 10:24, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into a single list. JohnCD (talk) 12:21, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and Redirects - per Brewcrewer. Don't lose content and help keep the related information together. matt91486 (talk) 17:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all. These are just navigational beacons, and are more like masts or TV repeater stations, which have generally been deleted. Highway signs or marker bouys are not notable, and neither are navigational beacons. No references to satisfy WP:N, and just a directory listing dumped in to a series of stub articles. No reason to make an article out of a listing of them. Edison (talk) 20:39, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge To say they are 'just navigational beacons' is to greatly underplay their importance, and to compare them with highway signs or marker buoys is absolutely ridiculous. A better analogy, though still not accurate, would be with lighthouses, and no one would suggest that lighthouses were not notable! There is not enough for any of these, though, to be worth a full article, so merge seems the most appropriate solution. Emeraude (talk) 21:47, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect As a collection, this can lead to a comprehensive look at the LORAN system. As matt91486 said, don't lose content. Keep the redirects (they cost Wikipedia nothing) so future editors can see the pattern. Fg2 (talk) 02:13, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - I suspect that cites will be difficult, but I also suspect that these devices are Highly Notable to the persons that they are relevant to, namely mariners. Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 06:51, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
