::I'm not going to discuss the Faroe Islands because my understanding of their situation is far more limited. However, the article published on Eurovoix is a couple of paragraphs all expressing a superficial viewpoint from a single author. Not to mention that the only credited source for the entire story is a Catalan newspaper, and many of these, let's face it, are anything but impartial as many have been known to have been receiving illegal funds directly from the regional government in order to promote certain ideologies and exclude those they disagree with (the same goes for the mentioned television station TV3). Let's at least wait for reliable and impartial sources to make a story out of this, then we could reconsider a brief mention in the article. I should point out that the Wikipedia contributor referred to Catalonia as a "colony" thus revealing their biased standpoint. There should be no room for that here.[[User:Taran Wanderer|T.W.]] ([[User talk:Taran Wanderer|talk]]) 18:35, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
:::I'm not saying that we should or should not include that and I understand your concerns, my only wish was to point out that we should, in order to maintain coherence, if the community decides to remove, probably do the same with [[List of countries in the Eurovision Song Contest|this article]] and we should also discuss if the paragraph about the Faroe Islands isn't also biased in the same way. I only cited Eurovoix, because it is used in the article as a reliable source and it isn't right to used sometimes as a reliable sources and others discredit it. Again, I want to point that I have no intention discuss if the information on Catalonia should or not be included, since I don't think it's of my competence, but only remember that Wikipedia articles should maintain coherence in itself and with other articles. - [[User:Sarilho1|Sarilho1]] ([[User talk:Sarilho1|talk]]) 20:59, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
::I understand. I think the status of the Faroe Islands within Denmark differs entirely from that of Catalonia/Cataluña within Spain. Though defined as a nation within the Spanish state, the title simply implies that together with a handful of other communities, Catalonia is granted a higher degree of autonomy, whereas the Faroe Islands are practically entirely self-governing and just one step away from being de-facto as well as de-jure independent. Still, I've also noticed that none of the international Wikipedias, at least the ones I've looked at, include neither Catalonia nor the Faroe Islands in this list (they do Kosovo as this country is recognized by a considerable amount of nations worldwide), so maybe we should reconsider whether it is necessary to mention it. Both cases seem to suggest mere speculation, of varying levels of plausibility, rather than offer valuable information. Articles expressing the desires of Flanders, Brittany, Occitania, etc. becoming part of Eurovision (and thus implying sovereignty) are not surprising, but they shouldn't be given too much credit.[[
