Elector of Trier

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Reason

This is just information copied and pasted out of an old encyclopaedia and does not really explain what the Elector of Trier did very well. There is a better article on the Electorate of Trier that this article would be better redirected to.Smeat75 (talk) 22:56, 26 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. Doesn't looks like a particular bad article, and the 1911 EB always made 90% of those kind of articles. Moagim (talk) 23:19, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect, just a duplicate of the other article. Everyking (talk) 01:03, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Electorate of Trier. A lot of duplication between the two. Hypothetically, we could have a separate article Archbishop of Trier with coverage of those archbishops who weren't also electors (currently archbishop redirects to elector). --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:55, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The organisation is terrible. We have four highly overlapping articles: Roman Catholic Diocese of Trier, Archdiocese of Trier, Elector of Trier and Electorate of Trier. I vote for a redirect for this title. Srnec (talk) 22:59, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge or rather REdirect this article to Electorate of Trier, which covers precisely the same ground. There is also a triplicate article Archdiocese of Trier, which initially also needs to be redirected to the same target, though there may possibly be a case for reinstating an article with that title to deal with the spiritual jurisdiction of the Archbishop-Elector.  On the other hand, it may be better still to add a section to the target article, dealing with that issue.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:15, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Electorate of Trier for now. At the moment, cover essentially the same material.  AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 23:25, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
