Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Borders of the arab world


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result of the debate was a consensus to merge and delete, but I will ignore the "delete" part of that. The materials which people contribute to Wikipedia are licensed under GFDL which makes them public domain, but the authors do need to be attributed if we use their work, and we do that by preserving a redirect with the history. This will be a plain old boring merge and redirect with Arab world. Sjakkalle (Check!)  09:43, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Come to think of it, I'm having trouble with merging this properly since the topic is already mentioned in the Arab world article, I will put some merge tags on this and let someone more knowledgable than I am do the merger. Sjakkalle (Check!)  09:47, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Borders of the arab world
Currently a rather unencyclopedic, unsourced POV piece on one aspect of Arabic history. Information could easily be merged into Arab world. Merge and then delete. Lukas 19:26, 13 January 2006 (UTC) Comment: I nominated this article for deletion shortly after it was created. It has now been moved by its creator to Borders of the Arab world. However, on looking at it again, I notice now that the page has no AfD notice put up, and I can't find any evidence in the page history that there ever was one. I'm pretty sure I was trying at the time to do everything right as by "AfD nomination in three steps". If, by some oversight of mine or by some technical problem, this AfD nomination may have escaped the notice of the creator, I ask that the nomination be kept open until the author has had an opportunity to respond.

 * Delete, can be metioned in Arab world, as suggested above. Caps-ignorant title, also. PJM 20:01, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge + Delete per nomination. &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-01-13 21:51Z 
 * Merge and delete, with emphasis on the merge. The quotes in then article are historical, verifiable and noteworthy, thus a useful contribution to an encyclopedia. --Squiddy | (squirt ink?)  23:40, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
