Death and state funeral of Islam Karimov

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Content fork of material already held at the subject's main article. There is little reason to have a separate article on this. Any information here that is not in the 'Illness and death' or 'Tributes and funeral' section of the Islam Kawrimov article can easily be added there and this article can be deleted.

 * Delete. Article is not needed, the Islam Karimov article can cover all of this - and already seems to. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 20:23, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Retarget back to the relevant section in the main page as a plausible search term. Patar knight - chat/contributions 07:05, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep but improve. The death and funeral of the father and 25-year ruler of a nation, a large one at that, is inherently an EVENT.  I'd like more sources to be added to establish the subject's notability independent of the Islam Karimov's main article.  My feeling is the lack of sources so far may reflect systemic bias rather than notability.--Johnsemlak (talk) 13:25, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The issue is not lack of notability but rather that this is just a rehash of material that is already covered more extensively on the subject's main page. Content forking like this only serves to fragment information and make it harder for the reader to find. My suggestion would be to merge anything useful into the 'Illness and death' or 'Tributes and funeral' sections of the Islam Karimov article and delete (a redirect from this title isn't necessary IMO as it is an unlikely search term). If at a later date the section in question on Islam Karimov's article becomes excessively long, it can easily be split off. To be clear I am not saying it isn't notable, but that it is a content fork, and there is a much better place for this information where our readers are more likely to find it.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  19:52, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
 * IMO the fact that this was created in the first place makes it a plausible search term. It is also in line with the naming conventions for similar articles. Patar knight - chat/contributions 02:12, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Thats a reasonable argument. I'll support a redirect.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  08:46, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
