A simple mention warrants an article? I think not. Ross Island article can simply have a wikipedia link to Mount Erebus. In fact, Im gonna do that right now.HAcame 20:43, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

It wasn't a simple mention. The Covenant were searching for artifacts at Mount Erebus, so it should stay--File:Colonel Grade One.png Col. Spartacus ^{Talk Page} _{Contributions} ^Contact 20:48, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

It's a simple mention not more than two sentences in the book. How is that even notable? Such information can be covered in the parent article, which is the Ross Island article. This is simply promoting redundancy. HAcame 20:52, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

Edit: I would appreciate it if you could stop from jumping the gun and hitting the revert button/undoing people's edit before people reach a consensus... you simply promoting an edit-war.. 9_9 HAcame 20:58, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

It takes two to edit war, bro.--File:Colonel Grade One.png Col. Spartacus ^{Talk Page} _{Contributions} ^Contact 21:06, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

Ok, Bro. I'll play by your rule. Notability policy requires that "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material. In short, apply the "Trivial" test. This article does not meet this test; it's trivial, mentioned in a single sentence, and pretty much of it can be covered in Ross Island article. So, bro, how 'bout it?

They blew up the Havok at Mount Erebus as part of the Battle of Ross Island. Therefore it's notable.--File:Colonel Grade One.png Col. Spartacus ^{Talk Page} _{Contributions} ^Contact 21:13, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

You simply prove my point; that information is notable, but this article is not; in other words, the information is not trivial but this article is. That information can be easily covered in Ross Island article. Just because it is mentioned in a sentence doesn't mean it should have its own article; you can have a better article by coherently and concisely put all information in one article than spreading it through multiple articles.HAcame 21:18, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

Let's just wait for someone else's opinion until we do anything else, ok?--File:Colonel Grade One.png Col. Spartacus ^{Talk Page} _{Contributions} ^Contact 21:21, 30 March 2012 (EDT)

Makes sense. Deletion template added. Someone else with a different care to object?— subtank 06:42, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

My opinion's changed. I'm going to remove all links to this article now.--File:Colonel Grade One.png Col. Spartacus ^{Talk Page} _{Contributions} ^Contact 12:28, 31 March 2012 (EDT)

I say it should be turned into a redirect to Ross Island. Both were only referenced once, and in the same passage, with Mount Erebus being on Ross Island. As it is mentioned by name, it is at least worth being kept in such a state. Any objections?-- Forerunner 19:03, 17 April 2012 (EDT)
