The result was delete‎. If this nation does participate, this closure can be revisited. Also, proposing a Merge without offering a target article is not helpful in any way. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:36, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a completely pointless article saying Tokelau has never participated in the Commonwealth Games. Certainly not enough significant coverage to demonstrate notability. AusLondonder (talk) 22:51, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article seems to have been created from a notion that every thinkable participant needs an "... at the Commonwealth Games" article. On the other hand, it would be sensible to merge more content into these "... at the Commonwealth Games" pages. But here, there is nothing to merge and little if any content due to lack of coverage.

Delete Tokelau almost sending a team to the 2010 Commonwealth Games is mentioned in passing in that article, and that's as much coverage as needed. They haven't competed, ergo they don't need this article. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:00, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to List of participating nations at the Commonwealth Games. 46.229.243.187 (talk) 16:05, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They haven't ever competed though, and so are correctly not mentioned there at all. Thus, this would be a misleading redirect. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:26, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Why does it needs an article of this type? It makes no sense and completly outside bounds of acceptability. Fails WP:SIGCOV. scope_creep^Talk 13:52, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to a target to be determined. The mention of the canceled participation is definitely worth merging.
