very little content and the only YYYY in Tonga article. Frietjes (talk) 17:41, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Seems non-notable. Out of curiosity, this type of "YYYY in X" article falls under WP:LISTN, yes? NickCT (talk) 18:28, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Tonga doesn't have any other 'year in" articles, I don't mean to be hard on Tonga, but it's a really small place that probably can't fill "year in" articles with notable events. Article has one footnote, and it's dead. It has one hyperlink, and it's dead. the WP links link to truly paltry articles (about, for example a missionary - linked because he arrived in 1924) but article about him (Harold Wood (minister)) could use help. According to his Wikipedia page, Rollo Beck was in the Pacific in 1924, but the article doesn't mention Tonga and I have no idea if the visit was notable, and even if it was the article hardly seems useful. Willing to rethink if Ive missed something. As for the disestablishment of the Church of Tonga by Queen Salote, it is unsourced but some information about the event already exists on the brief, poorly sourced Free Church of Tonga page. This last is probably the most significant event in the article, perhaps the reason why the page was created. Pre-WWII Tongan culture (South Pacific island culture in general) was dominated by the missions, and which Protestant church the royal family supported was undoubtedly a big deal. Butthat does not make the article about 1924 in Tonga worth keeping.ShulMaven (talk) 01:36, 9 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
