Border history of Serbia

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I could've almost speedily deleted this for having little context, but I'm bringing it here in case someone wants to improve it. The article is just a gallery of maps with not much coherent structure, so it's more appropriate for Commons. It's been like this since 2005, so I doubt this can substantially improve anytime soon. Also, the same arguments in Articles for deletion/Border history of Romania (second nomination) can be applied here. Spellcast (talk) 22:51, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete At the moment there is no article - just a repository of images! The article could be rescued if someone had the expertise though Francium12  23:11, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment -- This is not an article but a collection of maps. As such it might be instructive, but it needs some substantive text to go with it.  "Serbia" has meant different things at different times.  An article (with text to explain the maps) might be useful, or is that already in somethign like "History of Serbia"?  CErtainly, this article cannot survive as it is.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:45, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Even if some maps have mistakes, I believe the article can be "saved" with maps' explanations from experts.--LittleTony (talk) 03:18, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
