Hey this is a separatist group. According to Indonesia-Dutch agreement in 1949, this province belongs to Indonesia, not a separate republic. . Peace. -- Nielswik (talk) 15:16, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
This page isn't written with neutral language, it is very much state propaganda.

Basicly the two entities are the same, the current separatist movement promoted by Free Papua Movement etc. to form soo called Republic of West Papua is an old idea to revived the Netherlands New Guinea, the flag, anthem, etc is exactly the same. It should be placed in same article of Netherlands West Guinea, that the current RWP is just a revival of the proposed state that ceased to exist in 1960s.

Oppose. I don't think these two articles should be merged, because the one about Netherlands New Guinea is about a part of Netherlands under colonial rule, and this one is about a separatist proposed state. Yeah, these "countries" are connected, but the political state is very different. Dorelexy ( talk) 05:12, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Oppose. Netherlands New Guinea is a historical article. The Republic of West Papua would presumably never belong to the Netherlands (which is a kingdom to begin with) but instead might become an independent state. Of course one could copy suitable history related material from the NNG article to RWP SpeakFree (talk)( contribs) 18:44, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
West Papua does not exist as a recognized, partially recognized, or unrecognized state. Those who fignt for its independence currently have no control over West Papua. It is entirely under Indonesian administration. The rebels did at one point have control over some of the island, but they do not anymore. Because of this, it is a former country. Please do not change the infobox again. Fighting for independence is not the same as being de-facto independent. End of Story. Toolen ( talk) 01:03, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
@ Koavf: please take a look at the map again. Both current and former members are on the map. Current members are denoted by a flag and former members by an orange dot. Below the map you'll find a list of "Current Members" and "Former Members" and West Papua is listed under the latter. – Finnusertop ( talk ⋅ contribs) 01:26, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
In the second paragraph of the introduction it states: "the Parliament of Vanuatu passing the Wantok Blong Yumi Bill (Our Close Friends) in 2010".
From what I have found, an alternate name of bill was the "Our Common Peoples' Bill". I believe this was the intended information but as it currently stands, this sentence is poorly worded. Benmsch ( talk) 15:09, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
Particularly when it says “the name”. 82.36.70.81 ( talk) 20:48, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
