Talk:Alaskan independence movement

Reminder that there was a proposal to merge this article
A discussion began almost a year ago at Talk:Alaskan Independence Party about merging this article into the AIP's article, which has recently reignited. I just offered lengthy comments there, which in part may be more relevant to improving this article than to improving that article or to merging the two. This article is a train wreck. It's one of numerous articles which fall under WP:ALASKA which suffer from the same problem: its existence was deemed important by an editor who lacked any familiarity with the topic, or with Alaska, judging from what was presented. The article reads as if it were compiled exclusively by copy-and-paste from other Wikipedia articles (or perhaps other sources as well), and gives disproportionate weight towards one dimension of the subject and one group of individuals. This lack of relevant content, combined with the spamming of the article with various tags several months ago, would make it a prime candidate for an AFD, in my opinion.RadioKAOS (talk) 23:40, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Having stumbled here by chance I agree that this article gives undue weight to a fringe concept. Compare with Legal status of Hawaii: there are genuine issues there, and considerable scholarship to draw on. Mackensen (talk) 02:37, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
