Naming or merger

[edit]

This article's name appears to be a unique construction, i.e. it does not appear to be used in reliable sources that I can find. If the intent of it is to provide a detailed account of the 1782 Caribbean campaign, then it should probably be called something like West Indies campaign (1782) or Caribbean campaign (1782). It could also be merged into Naval operations in the American Revolutionary War (where the events here are also summarized) if it's not going to be expanded further, although I'm not a big fan of that article (it's to some extent a legacy of Wikipedia's EB1911 beginnings).

The article is pretty terrible right now: there isn't a single source, reference or inline citation; it was made from chunks of others articles moved to here, making it a incoherent whole; and I doubt any source treat the various campaigns fought in the Caribbean as a separated body disconnected from the rest. Would anyone oppose a merge (if there was anything worth merging)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frenditor (talkcontribs) 16:37, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Most of this content is duplicated at Naval operations in the American Revolutionary War but with a little bit more quality. I don't think anything useful will be lost redirecting here to there. Frenditor (talk) 03:38, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And out of curiosity, this article isn't linked anywhere except on infoboxes. Frenditor (talk) 03:40, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Caribbean or Naval

[edit]

Since the caribbean/naval operations are both used into the same context, there is no use in distinguishing between different uses over the same subject. Uspzor (talk) 01:37, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
