"national" list

edit

I just removed the rather pointless duplicate list. But let's talk about this list for a second. Is it really all that necessary/important? First of all, "national" refers here to the whole of Grenada, not Carriacou itself. Does every island, city, county, need a list of the national dishes, birds, banks and hospitals? Second, several of these items are uncited. I did a (admittely quick) Google search for "Jack Iron national drink" which yielded no results to support this. I'm not a native, so I'm willing to accept the word of others that it actually ís, but Wikipedia calls for verified sources. Weirdly enough, what I díd find was at least three websites that give "Oil Down" as the "undisputed" national dísh. Which ísn't on this list. So it's incomplete and unbalanced as well. Thirdly, despite it being a "national" list, it ísn't featured on the nation to which it refers.

The whole thing feels like trivia padding to firm up a page for a small island. It's not the island's fault there's nothing more on the page, but I'm sure there's more interesting things to write about than "the national bank is so-and-so bank".

[edit] I'm binning the whole list, I'm sorry. Along with the above reasons, Flamboyant Tree and CooCoo are cited as the national flower and dish of óther Carribean islands. The cited hospital isn't even the biggest in the country, but only the biggest on the island. What is left, at móst, is an uncited drink, the (probably ónly) telecom company, and a bank that isn't even on the island itself. The latter two hardly being of the typical symbolism that goes with "national" lists. Perhaps they could be added somewhere along the lines of "The island is serviced by Cable and Wireless Communications" [/edit] 87.209.236.59 (talk) 10:45, 27 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
