I have integrated the subpages of [[Svalbard]] into the main article.
Every time I try to delete the subpages, I get a 404 error. But as long as I leave them there, people keep putting them back into the [[Svalbard]] article, ignoring the comments on the talk page.
Can someone go into the database and get rid of these pages, so they'll stop turning up in "orphans".
Thanks.
I have deleted Transportation, Transnational Issues, and Communications. I'm not convinced that you have incorporated all useful information from the other subpages; for example, I find it interesting that the governor of Svalbard does not report to the king but rather to the Polar Department of the Ministry of Justice.

I take back nine-tenths of my earlier comment; you've done a fine job of incorporating the subpages. I have deleted all of them except Government and Geography, and I'll delete them Real Soon Now.

This bug can be worked around. Manually edit the URL that gives you a 404 during deletion and replace the URL-encoded slashes (%2F, I believe) with ordinary slashes. So, for example, "http://www.wikipedia.com/blahblah?Svalbard%2Fsubpage?action=whatever" would become "http://www.wikipedia.com/blahblah?Svalbard/subpage?action=whatever".
