A possibility of Survival of Romanovs

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Original research, despite the numerous references. The article was created with the hangon tag, so it appears to have been copied from somewhere where it has previously been tagged for speedy deletion, but there's no indication of this in the article's history, so I have no idea where it came from originally.

 * created earlier drafts of the article at Last of the Murdered Russian Royal Family Found and A possibility of Survival. Uncle G (talk) 01:01, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge with House of Romanov. Should the references be properly placed, and be written less like an advertisement, I think the material here could be usable. However, it does not warrant it's own page. Dengarde ► Complaints 23:52, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge or Rename and cleanup. Right now it's written in a sensationalistic, rather POV fashion, but it does raise a few points.  bibliomaniac 1  5  01:00, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:FRINGE. Bearian (talk) 01:09, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as original research. The House of Romanov also discusses this issue although it needs work on sourcing. Capitalistroadster (talk) 01:15, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge All of this is my Original research and I wont lie its my high school term paper that I got and 95% on but I also had to write a page for each of my sources. I don't mind if you Merge it. And also the last part of the page was from the news and History channel.--DarkFierceDeityLink 03:05, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete or move to House of Romanov talk page from whence it may have originated. Epthorn (talk) 03:21, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with House of Romanov where this article certainly belongs.Osli73 (talk) 09:13, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Why do we want to merge original research?  Corvus cornix  talk  16:50, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 1st of all almost every thing on this web site is original research. 2nd it has to do with the the Romanovs do to the fact i used history books web sites etc. like House of Romanov they prob used history books their notes from school etc. And this is something i work very hard on and people did say it did raise facts thats not mentioned. if you guys dislike it i'll remove it.--DarkFierceDeityLink 19:02, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Nothing on this site is original research. WP:OR explains why we do not accept original research.  See also WP:SYNTH.   Corvus cornix  talk  19:18, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * But the stuff I stated is true its in history book history channel and on other pages of the Romanovs.--DarkFierceDeityLink 19:23, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

"" Ok how about this help me fix it so it could be usable.--DarkFierceDeityLink 02:41, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete If the article creator says it's original research, this is the only real option. Edward321 (talk) 00:05, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete per Criteria for speedy deletion: General criteria 7. Page blanked by original creator, and only main editor. DrKiernan (talk) 08:46, 13 December 2007 (UTC) DrKiernan (talk) 12:25, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Irrelevant. Being blanked and edited by just one editor does NOT warrant deletion. Dengarde ► Complaints 10:32, 13 December 2007 (UTC) Upon reading the SD Criteria, I withdraw this comment. Dengarde ► Complaints  18:12, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comments refactored. DrKiernan (talk) 12:25, 13 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge. Contrary to statements above, this is not "original research" as I understand the term.  It is original writing, of course, but so is everything else on Wikipedia (ideally).  It is a summary of materials published elsewhere, with references provided.  However, I'm voting merge because the article is duplicative of information appearing on House of Romanov, and I don't see any need for a second article on this topic.  --Russ (talk) 16:56, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
