The result was delete.  Apparently a copyvio, see, where the only substantial contributor also requests the deletion of the article. Redirected to Khmer sculpture.  Sandstein  20:50, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete both this and Khmer sculpture--though without prejudice against recreation for the latter, as there seems to be quite a bit of useful information on this topic and that would be the proper title. They're both fascinating, well-written (except that "Ancient" has no paragraph breaks), and OR essays.  I would, however, like to reiterate the comment of the hardware and his marine mammals; I can't figure out what's going on here.  The nominator (who is also the author and main contributor for both of these articles; isn't that a criterion for speedy deletion?) created both of these articles today, and has already declined a ProD.  Some explanation is in order.   Anturiaethwr  Talk  20:59, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * *Comment. To be clear, I'd also be open to a merge per Ten Pound Hammer, but not if Khmer sculpture remains in its current form.   Anturiaethwr  Talk  21:48, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Change to merge to Khmer sculpture per improvements to that article since I last looked.  Anturiaethwr  Talk  21:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Ancient Khmer sculpture and Khmer sculpture should be merged. Khmer sculpture is sourced (though it's lacking inline citations) and notable. It needs rewriting, but I think it's a better idea to improve on what's there. — Ksero (talk | contribs) 21:11, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Khmer sculpture, the better written of the two. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 21:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. A pure OR essay. Nothing to salvage here. I don't see a point in merging to Khmer sculpture, which is also an OR essay and might not survive anyway. Moreover, the common creator of both articles wants this one deleted. Why create more confusing redirects? Nsk92 (talk) 21:58, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete Wonderful as an OR, inapprorpriate as a WP article. Ecoleetage (talk) 03:05, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Because the article does not include citations from reliable sources, it does not appear to be in compliance with the verifiability policy. Stifle (talk) 19:16, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge when there are multiple articles on the same subject, that's the solution.DGG (talk) 02:46, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge to Khmer sculpture, per several. That one is referenced and those calling it OR should point to what they think the references do not cover; personally I think it is more likely a copyvio, though a couple of tests show no ghits. The creator's prose style above seems a good deal less competent than the article.   Probably little of the other one needs to be added though. Johnbod (talk) 18:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Khmer sculpture, per above. Rather than lose it all...Modernist (talk) 00:47, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
