Battle of Slavutych

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

Largely duplicated the material in Battle of Chernobyl. The town is just a base for workers from the plant. It's essentially the same battle. Laurel Lodged (talk) 12:39, 3 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I support deleting this page and moving any relevant and sourced information to Slavutych. There was nowhere near enough fighting or sourceable events to merit an individual page, and it was not a battle.Sredmash (talk) 12:37, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge to Battle of Chernobyl.Mr.User200 (talk) 14:00, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * However this page should not be merged with Battle of Chernobyl because the events are completely separate both geographically and chronologically. Slavutych was only attacked a month after the (very limited) fighting in Chernobyl. I also think that the Chernobyl "battle" article should be deleted or at least renamed.Sredmash (talk) 12:48, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Oppose. The Battle of Chernobyl (2022) was not a battle, no (or very few) shots were fired, so that article is at the wrong title for a start and I'm not sure it is even notable enough for an article all things considered. Also, the events at Chernobyl and Slavutych occurred at entirely different times, so cannot be considered to be the same battle regardless. The content here seems to be notable enough to merit its own article as it is, but could do with expanding with additional English language sources, as I copied the base text from Ukrainian Wikipedia and used their sources as a starting point.

 * Comment furthermore to this, I have just removed the content about Slavutych from the Battle of Chernobyl article, as it seems to have been copied and pasted directly from Battle of Slavutych at some point and shouldn't have been in the Chernobyl article in the first place. So that removes the duplication of content issue across articles. I've also requested a page move regarding the currently problematic Battle of Chernobyl article title.

 * Oppose - As Buttons0603 correctly pointed out, these were different events. The current article is large enough to warrant its own existence - not due to the battle, however, but the civilian resistance. Perhaps it might be better to rename the article - "Occupation of Slavutych", for example, and focus more on the notable civil events instead of the short fighting phase.

 * Comment: I have no opinion as I'm not sufficiently convinced for or against the article, but I will note that Slavutych is relatively far from Chernobyl (G maps), so a merge or re-target there is not preferred. Curbon7 (talk) 18:47, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Oppose: As has been pointed out, these two events were not co-located in time or space, and the focus of the two articles is different. I would approve renaming this page to "Occupation of Slavutych" as Applodion suggested, as well as SEE ALSO links among the Slavutych, Battle of Chernobyl, and "Occupation of Slavutych" pages.
