To not merge, given the independent notability of First island chain, and that is now has a distinct meaning separate from Island chain strategy. Klbrain (talk) 12:34, 17 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Not enough content to justify separate articles. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 01:18, 3 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose: The First Island Chain is of significant importance in strategic parlance, esp. with the increasing imp. of Indo-pacific, therefore, the article should not be merged and rather be expanded and improved. User4edits (talk) 15:48, 26 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Support: Ideally, all five island chains would have their own, well-rounded and fully detailed articles, and this strategy article would also be expanded and improved. But as it stands right now, the content of the two pages presents somewhat of a redundancy regarding the first chain, and the content of the two pages together doesn't warrant a fork (and that's current content, which would be reduced when all duplucate content is removed in a merge). If "User4edits" were to initiate some expansion and improvement to either article, I would possibly oppose, but as it stands right now, a merge is justified. - wolf 18:55, 18 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Support: There is not yet sufficient text to justify two separate articles. Maybe in the future, but not now. - Amigao (talk) 22:10, 17 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose. The concept may have come from the US "Island Chain Strategy", but is now a general strategic concept that is used by US, China as well as other countries of the region. It should stay as a separate topic. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 22:34, 29 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
