Autogenocide

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Very niche term that can easily be folded into the Cambodian Genocide article with no loss in information. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 05:10, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Google Books results show scholarly attention and critical debate over the term in its own right. For example:, , , , , . The term is not used exclusively in relation to Cambodian genocide, so a separate article is appropriate. Jfire (talk) 05:46, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Term sees plenty of use in academia and is being used WRT Cambodia, Armenia, China, ... -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:25, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually have to walk that back. All the publications I had in mind using this for other nations turn out, on deeper reading, to restrict the term to Cambodia, and use plain "genocide" or other terms for other cases. Looks like it is pretty much Cambodia-specific. Hence, merge as suggested may be more suitable. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 21:20, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

 * merge/Redirect -- The article provides no case of the phenomenon other than Cambodia. Paragraph 1 is a definition which could be transwikified to the dictionary.  The rest is a brief description of Cambodian genocide.  I would reconsider my vote if anyone can provide another credible case of it.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:57, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep: Passes GNG. It's discussed in the context of African American and Native Americans by Joy James in Resisting State Violence, Robert Melson discusses the concept throughout Revolution and Genocide, its entry in the Dictionary of Genocide discusses some issues/controversy with the term, and a variety of other sources looking at the Khmer Rogue specifically.

 * Striking my keep vote as well in favor of a Merge to Cambodian genocide. Same rationale as Elmidae. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 21:51, 17 January 2023 (UTC)


 * '''Merge to Cambodian Genocide, noting that the concept and the term should be discussed in that article. The content is encyclopedic, but does not require a stand-alone article.  Robert McClenon (talk) 09:24, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
