Anarchist Catalonia

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

It the four years that it has existed, this article has failed to gather substantial references and serious discussions. After numerous interventions and attempts to improve this article, I have deleted everything that is not permissible. Almost nothing is left. Everything else that remains can go into History of Catalonia, Anarchism in Spain, CNT, or other articles relating to the period. BillMasen (talk) 12:41, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Mild Keep: BillMasen makes valid pionts about the article not progressing. I think he is being overpessimistic about the current state of the article as "almost nothing left" though.  (Click on the "Random article" link on the left menu to get a depressing sense of the average quality/length of WikiPedia articles.)
 * I found the topic noteworthy and helpful in gaining some understanding to some literature I'm reading about the Spanish Civil War. On that basis I recommend keeping.  But, since I'm coming to this article as a reader rather than an editor I'll just say Mild Keep because I'm not knowledgable enough in this topic area to help improve the article.RevelationDirect (talk) 20:50, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep: Notable. I think Bill is being overly pessimistic about the current state of the article. I found it interesting re the Spanish Civil War. This is not in my field of expertise but I do wish somebody would expand upon it. It is still a stub but that is not a valid reason for deletion - Ret.Prof (talk) 22:58, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as a notable stub/start-class article. It may have failed to gather substantial references in four years, but keep in mind that it's a WP:STUB and there's no WP:DEADLINE. jonkerz♠ 01:59, 10 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Whatever happened to WP:SOFIXIT? Is the topic notable, yes. Andy Dingley (talk) 02:11, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
