Crown Estate in Wales

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

This is a WP:POVFORK of Crown Estate. As the lead says, the Crown Estate is not separate by country, although, in fact, it is devolved in Scotland as Crown Estate Scotland, but it is not devolved in Wales. As such there is no specific subject of Crown Estate Wales, although Crown Estate England and Wales, could be argued for. The problem with this POVfork is that it is essentially just a page on which arguments for devolving the estate can be rehearsed. This looks like advocacy. We already have Welsh Devolution and discussion in Crown Estate, and specific page just to rehearse these arguments, that adds nothing that cannot be covered in the parent article, is a clear POVfork.

 * Keep (2nd choice: Merge) - This is clearly a topic of significant debate and WP:Notability in Wales. This is a WP:RELAR and/or WP:SPINOFF to Crown Estate. The Crown Estate also publishes annual "Highlight of Wales" report. (It's also worth noting that Crown Estate is already quite long.)

 * It can't be a spinoff when you only added the devolution information to that article for the first time today. The Crown Estate articles size is about 4,200 words, which, per WP:SIZERULE, does not justify division. Also to note that while the first edit says this is a translation of a page on Welsh Wikipedia, you made that article on Welsh Wikipedia just before creating this article here.

 * Delete per nomination. There has been a recent history of the creation of these POV forks to separate Wales and welsh topics from the rest of the UK with no rational basis. Unhelpful.  Velella  Velella Talk 20:04, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, it's already covered sufficiently in the Crown Estate and Proposed further Welsh devolution articles. This is basically a COATRACK for a "Calls to devolve the Crown Estate to Wales" article. Sionk (talk) 22:13, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete not an encyclopedic topic in its own right; as it stands it's mostly about about calls for devolution, better, if not already, covered elsewhere. Llwyld (talk) 22:52, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned this is clearly a topic of significant debate and WP:Notability in Wales and so has a significant rational basis in my view. The devolution is only one large aspect of the page following much media reports, but it is not the main focus. I do think that WP:RELAR and/or WP:SPINOFF applies but respect majority opinion. (The Crown Estate does publish annual "Highlight of Wales" report as previously mentioned.)
 * I've moved info over to Crown Estate in anticipation of a delete. Titus Gold (talk) 03:00, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
