The result of this discussion was to merge the 4 articles mentioned below to Same-sex marriage in Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. This has been performed by moving Same-sex marriage in Aruba to that page; partially rewrite, and to implement information from Same-sex marriage in Curaçao.

At present there are 4 articles on same-sex marriage in the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Caribbean:

and Same-sex marriage in the Caribbean Netherlands would be thinkable... The articles on aruba, sint maarten, curacao and the Netherlands Antilles are very similar (the latter three: very, very similar) and are based on the fact that same sex marriage is not possible but that same sex marriages from the Netherlands have to be accepted. I think the easiest and most comprehensive treatment of this subject would be in a single new article. My title proposal is Same-sex marriage in Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and the Caribbean Netherlands but I am open to new titles.. Let me know what you think below...

The Caribbean Netherlands is dispensable. The Netherlands Antilles not exist anymore. See Dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles. It should be titled Same-sex marriage in Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. Ron 1987 12:30, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
I could live with that; only 2 years until the Caribbean Netherlands get their same-sex marriage (at least, that term is in the law now) and the Neth. Antilles could indeeed link to a section, so the name does not need to be in the title... L.tak (talk) 16:20, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
You changed the title to And the Caribbean Netherlands. The Caribbean Netherlands is absolutely dispensable, because these islands only implemented Dutch law. Nothing more. Ron 1987 14:22, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Although it might seem a bit pointy; it was a simple copy paste error. I meant to remove the part "and the caribbean netherlands" from the original article name change suggestion... (btw for info on the specific situation of the caribbean nehterlands: see the specific section now at same-sex marriage in the Netherlands.. Rectifiying my error now!
