Democratic peace theory (Statistical studies supporting the DPT)
This topic is inherently PoV; furthermore, this text does not discuss the studies but is a defense of one particular DPT. By the time the PoV is eliminated and the statistically doubtful claims removed, there will be very little article left, and that little redundant with the main article on Democratic peace theory. In short,a PoV fork containing academic spam. Septentrionalis 17:13, 15 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment I would suggest that the a better alternative would be to mark this as possibly not neutral and then attempt to insert are more NPOV view. I was the person who called for this article's creation as I felt the main DPT article was being swamped by the statistical studies section. I am far from an expert on the subject, so I don't feel that I am able to comment on its neutrality, but bias is not a basis for deletion.


 * If you really think that it is impossible to make this arictle neutral, please, make your case, and I will consider changing my vote -for now I will remain neutral. Robdurbar 17:41, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Specifics should probably be at Talk:Democratic peace theory (Statistical studies supporting the DPT), where I will put them. I may convince myself that it is salvagable, and change my own vote. Septentrionalis 22:09, 16 January 2006 (UTC) \
 * Finished analysis on talk page. I contend that this article is very largely redundant with Democratic peace theory, which contains all the references involved. Septentrionalis 15:43, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete as a POV fork. Stifle 23:18, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
 * strong keep or move to Democratic peace theory (statistical studies) at least a NPOV name, which would allow any counter studies to appear. I think this article needs to be viewed in terms of Democratic peace theory as a whole. This article seem to be a good way of splitting of a technical section from the main article. The main article does contain a reasonable critisism section. In man way this is a very good wikipedia article, it is one of the most well referenced article I've come across and the references come from many authors so its not just a one man band. If you read carefully near the bottom it also includes some counter examples to the theory. --Salix alba 01:44, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It doesn't quote one author; but it argues quite strongly for one theory, of many. Septentrionalis 15:43, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
