On the question of whether any article is possible on Telecoms here, the jury is out. I expect a wider article is possible, although perhaps taking a broader view of the issue, or as a paragraph in an article of the place. However this article is not that. Entirely unsourced, even if the figures were right, they are clearly out of date and what is presented is of limited significance. There is no curated information, no lead, just numbers that are all wrong. This must surely be a case where WP:TNT is required. I would suggest merge is not appropriate here as there is simply no mergeable content. Any attempt to merge would damage the merge target. Sirfurboy🏄 ( talk) 08:57, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. I suspect I've never agreed with a TNT nomination before. If there is an unreferenced, unmaintained exclusively statistical article then it probably does more harm than good. The only importent item of interest, the telephone dialling code, is actually better described in the main Martinique article and a redirect seems purposeless.

- Delete. External links are also useless, so there is no salvation. -- Suitskvarts ( talk) 11:50, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. This article appears to have been sourced to the CIA World Factbook (compare the information style found here, for example). However, it appears that the CIA World Factbook no longer includes a separate article about Martinique, perhaps because it is a full-fledged department of France and not a dependency. Thus, we don't have a convenient way to update this article. -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:22, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per above, alsmost impossible to update, and not a good redirect. Handmeanotherbagofthemchips ( talk) 15:28, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
