Copernicus' nationality
Strong delete This page is ultimately pointless in the long run considering history has established Copernicus as a Pole (by his last name origin and citizenry) whether or not he, in fact, was a German. An entire wikipedia page is not necessary for this discussion.
 * This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. &mdash;Crypticbot (operator) 12:35, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, should be discussed somewhere, better in a separate page. Kappa 18:17, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge what information is not already redundant to Nicolaus Copernicus - if not for the redundancies, this page would be about 20% of its present size, so adding the little leftover information on the nationality dispute in a compacted form is not a significant impact to the core article, and enhances that article's WP:NPOV. --Kgf0 23:27, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge as per Kgf0. -- Kjkolb 00:38, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge per Kgf0. If the Copernicus article ever gets too large, the subject matter can always be broken out into its own page again. Jacqui  ★ 00:49, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge per Kgf0. Jkelly 00:51, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep -- The sole reason for this to exist was the wish to separate the discussion about the nationality from the Copernicus page, because it took too much place and caused to many revert wars on Copernicus. In other words, merging is just taking back issue to the point where it was some two or three years ago. Szopen 09:41, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep -- The article is a good way to address the seemingly neverending controversy. Balcer 03:45, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
