Talk:Luxembourg rebellion

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because... (The Luxembourg Rebellion was an important point in the history of Luxembourg. one of the reasons it started was because of the Luxembourg communist revolutions. They are however two different events. With the communist revolution hampering first and the Luxembourg revolution starting two mounts after and having nothing to do with communism. I believe both articles should be allowed as they are both important to the history of Luxembourg.) --LuxembourgLover (talk) 21:45, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Merge proposal
All three articles (Luxembourg Republic, Luxembourg Rebellion and Luxembourg rebellions are about the same 2 days. All three are poorly sourced. Merging would be a better idea. The Banner  talk 00:23, 5 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Why is this up for merging? This is simmer to the German Revolution, it was one major event with many smaller rebellions. All pages are well sourced and well organized. This should not be merged. The rebellion lasted from 1918 (the two small riots) and another one in 1919 (this saw a new government formed). All three events are different. LuxembourgLover (talk) 04:17, 6 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Also note that the Luxembourg Rebellions and this article have been approved. See the discussion above for why this article and the Luxembourg communist revolution differ. See the note on the Luxembourg Rebellions and see how that article has been revied. Please note that all 4 articles are different, luxembourg communist rebellion was in 1918 and was a communist rebellion, while the Luxembourg Rebellions took place in 1919 and created the Luxembourg Republic. I do not know why this is up for merge when there have already been multiple talk pages about it LuxembourgLover (talk) 04:59, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The AfC-proces does not look at the notability of a subject. It is a 100% technical process. The Banner  talk 10:49, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Three of the articles have been approved and reviewed, and there have already been discussions on the topic. It was a major event in Europe that significantly changed Luxembourg's politics. LuxembourgLover (talk) 15:35, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Also you said "All three articles (Luxembourg Republic, Luxembourg Rebellion and Luxembourg rebellions are about the same 2 days." This is not true at all, there was a discussion right above this one with the same problem. What is the reason for merge? LuxembourgLover (talk) 15:42, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Lastly, the Luxembourg Rebellions include information about why the people were unhappy with the government, how they worked against Germany, and started strikes against Germany, (Luxembourg during WW1 chapter). After WW1 Luxembourg faced two separate community riots where local communist governments were started (1918 rebellion), then the biggest rebellion both a communist and republican rebellion, saw a new government formed and France invade Luxembourg. All are very different events. LuxembourgLover (talk) 15:50, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I understand that you are upset about the merge-proposal but you are not the owner of the articles. Everybody can edit and have an opinion about the articles.  The Banner  talk 16:10, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * See this article, the Luxembourg republic is the same thing. I can see the Luxembourg republic being merged with the Luxembourg rebellion, but the Luxembourg Rebellions of 1918-1919 should be kept LuxembourgLover (talk) 20:09, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * A list of edits on another Wikipedia? The Banner  talk 23:16, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The same topic (Luxembourg Republic) on another wikipida, in general the rules are the same, I made theses articles a year ago, I do not know why they are being merged. LuxembourgLover (talk) 01:26, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * No, this is another topic. Related, but not the same. And every Wikipedia-project sets its own rules on notability. What is deemed notable there is not necessarily notable here. The Banner  talk 08:54, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I said what I said, we should wait to get other people opion. They are all three separate events. I am most stongly defensing the Luxembourg Rebellions, this talks about Luxembourg occupation, communists revolution, and the full revolution created the Luxembourg Republic. LuxembourgLover (talk) 17:36, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Merge. From the articles and their sources, it seems clear that these articles all refer to the same, very brief, general period in Luxembourg's history. And each is very short with limited sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.101.1.117 (talk) 16:39, 11 October 2023 (UTC)


 * The event looked like this:
 * Luxembourg Rebellions of 1918-1919, this is a simmer article to the German Revolution of 1918–1919.
 * Luxembourg Rebellion 1918, this was the first rebellion a sires of riots around Luxembourg, they where stopped by the Luxembourg Police and military force.
 * Luxembourg Rebellion 1919, this was attempted number two of the 1918 rebellion but more successful. This saw the Luxembourg army stage a coup and form the Luxembourg Republic.
 * Luxembourg Republic, this was the official new country formed, Wikipedia has a page for many countries. This should be included. I do not know why you think this should be merged, it has been reviewed by editors with 1000s of edits.
 * LuxembourgLover (talk) 19:34, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
 * You demonstrate a really good argument in favor of merging. Look at what you just wrote: the event in question was the "Luxembourg Rebellions of 1918-1919", which you broke down into a) the "Luxembourg Rebellion of 1918" and b) the ""Luxembourg Rebellion of 1919". The fact that in trying to explain it, you effectively merged everything into one topic should tell you that this should be the article right here: "Luxembourg Rebellions of 1918-1919"
 * You even describe the 1919 event as "attempt number two" of the 1918 event. And what you describe as "Luxembourg Rebellion of 1919" actually links back to the same first article! Moreover, each article only has two sources-- the SAME two sources!
 * Your argument for keeping Luxembourg Republic separate makes a little more sense, and would make more sense if it had actually existed as an "official new country" as you claim. But the article itself says that not only did it last "just days" but in fact it only existed during the "short-lived" rebellion that was "quickly defeated." Was it ever recognized? If its only existence was during the rebellion itself that tried to create it and never succeeded, to me that's a pretty strong argument that it really should be merged with the rebellion itself.
 * Side note, but serious question as I'm trying to discuss this proposal in good faith. You keep saying this is a "simmer article" to something or "simmer to" the German revolution, etc. Apologies if English isn't your first language and I'm not being understanding here, but I genuinely have no idea what you're trying to say. What are you trying to mean with "simmer"?

 * And no, a self-proclaimed republic that was crushed within two days is not a real country. The Banner  talk 20:20, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Any set of articles could be combined into one. The two people are saying the same thing, over and over again. They have said the first argument then just went to debunking my points. You hace not put a single peice of evidence saying why the full article should be merged. Also English is my first language I just have dislexia. Overall I can see the reason for Luxembourg Republic merge, I strony think we should keep:
 * Luxembourg rebellions 1918-1919
 * Luxembourg Rebellion 1918
 * Luxembourg Rebellion 1919 LuxembourgLover (talk) 20:56, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The merge proposal is in fact the positive approach. It is also possible to remove all those articles as being double with Luxembourg... The Banner  talk 21:11, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Alright, we heard both of yalls arguments. We now wait, I'll bring it up on the miltary history project. We should wait for other people. LuxembourgLover (talk) 21:13, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
 * That would be a good idea. Maybe you will take their advice on board. The Banner  talk 21:29, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

Merge As others have said, this really is kind of two linked events, and there is not enough here for two articles. Slatersteven (talk) 10:37, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Merge These are closely related events separated by a relatively short period of time. Each article has little substance. At this point, it makes sense to merge these into a single coherant article of more substance. Cinderella157 (talk) 11:40, 16 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Why should we not keep the Luxembourg Rebellions? This is the exact same as the German Revolutions 1918-1919 article. Also the problems yo guys are saying could easy be fixed just with editing and research you do not need to merge. LuxembourgLover (talk) 12:47, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The German Revolution of 1918–1919 had a far wider impact than the rebellion in Luxembourg. You can also see that that article is slightly longer. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 13:14, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Merge completely pointless having three microp-articles that could be easily created as a single cohesive page. The sourcing and coverage would both improve, and the experience of the WP:READER—to whom our work is dedicated—would be much improved. I also advise LuxembourgLover to read WP:BLUDGEON and to desist from this approach: we understand you are unhappy with the process, but answering every single other editor with massive walls of text will not endear anyone to your argument.

Keep My last comment before the articles are likely merged. I made all three article as I said to try to make the Luxembourg Rebellions an overview of the 1918 and 1919 rebellion. If people cannot see how it works then I understand why the merge is proposed. LuxembourgLover (talk) 13:28, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It seems that the three articles are largely based on the same two sources, what in fact is an argument for merging. Adding unsourced information is not making the articles stronger, contrary. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 16:55, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
 * After more reacherch I found the Luxembourg Rebellions consisted of 4 diffrent events. A riot on November 9, 1918 in Luxembourg City, a riot on November 11 in Esch-sur-Alzette, December 1918, a mutiny broke out in the Holy Spirit Barracks in Luxembourg City, the largest one is the Luxembourg Rebellion. LuxembourgLover (talk) 17:29, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * What is an extra argument for merging this into Luxembourg =instead of having a whole series of tiny articles about historical details. The Banner  <i style="color:maroon">talk</i> 00:31, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Im just saying you could format the Luxembourg rebellion into diffrent parts abd make it longer. Also yes you can put it into Luxembourg but then that never stops and you can merge anything into diffrent chapters. Just merge Luxembourg in World War two into History of Luxembourg. If people would stop working to merge it and help me fix it, they could be good articles. LuxembourgLover (talk) 11:34, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
