There is presently no mention in this article (Diego Garcia) of the the people mentioned in the British Indian Ocean Territory article in the section British_Indian_Ocean_Territory#Marooned_asylum_seekers. I think they should be mentioned in this article as well, as they are in Diego Garcia.
I think the simplest thing would be to add something short to this article, in the Inhabitants section, with a link the existing section British Indian Ocean Territory article. I am not sure of the best thing to do. FrankSier (talk) 17:36, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

A David Vine is quoted in the section Diego_Garcia#After_1971, and as they are quoted I think there should be some information about who they are. I am pretty sure they are not the person who presently has a WP article: David Vine who was an English television sports presenter. There are no other David Vines that I can find who have a WP article.
I am guessing that they are the same person as mentioned as "David Vine of The Washington Post" in the Territories_of_the_United_States article, and as mentioned 4 times in the references of in Marshall Islands article. They probably deserve an article of their own. A Google on "David Vine of The Washington Post" brings up lots of hits. FrankSier (talk) 18:17, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
