Conflict in south-eastern Turkey
This seems like a pointless article - the topic is not specific, as there have been many conflicts in Southeastern Turkey throughout history, and as of now it's only serving as a place for people to argue about the terrorist status of the PKK. If it's supposed to be about the conflict between the PKK and the Turkish government and others, that's already covered in the PKK and related articles. This topic doesn't seem specific enough for an article. Awiseman 06:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - the conflict it's talking about is certainly notable, but should be included in articles on the PKK and friends and/or a better-titled article than this. BigHaz 07:43, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - the article as it stands has serious issues, including a revert war. Right now its a very short stub, with way more sources then are warranted by the limited amount of content.  It is in need of expansion, clean-up, and probably mediation... but as the delete vote above mentions, the conflict it's talking about is notable.  If it needs a better title that can be accompished by a move.  In short, this is a lousy article on an important topic that should be kept and improved upon; not deleted out of hand.

 * Comment - the conflict is notable, but it's already covered in the PKK and related articles, of which there are many. --Awiseman 20:00, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per Awiseman. There isn't much meaningful content&mdash;even on "better" versions of the page&mdash;that is not already recapitulated elsewhere.  A meta-article as to the sundry PKK-Turkey disputes might be in order, but at a differently-titled page; inasmuch as there's nothing substantive here, the page needn't to be kept, although perhaps a request for a meta-article should be essayed at WP:RA.  A redirect of this phrase to, inter al., Kurdistan Workers Party (which happens to reference this article) would be fine, except that this is, I imagine, a wholly unlikely search term.

 * Delete per above reasons. Topic already covered at the Kurdistan Workers Party article. &mdash; Khoikhoi 06:13, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
