European Union as an emerging superpower

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

This article is a future prediction and reads like a speculative essay. I therefore argue it fails WP:CRYSTAL point number 3. EvilxFish (talk) 00:39, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Seeing if there is any support for this redirect suggestion. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 02:02, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * comment there is perhaps some salvageable material from this article but it would be better integrated into existing articles on the EU. EvilxFish (talk) 00:42, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Speedy redirect to Potential_superpower. This page was copied and pasted from this main article in 2015 but an appropriate split was not completed. As a WP:REDUNDANT WP:DUPLICATE in its entirety, there is no unique content to preserve, though the redirect it had been since 2008 should be maintained. Would have NACed this, seems no further discussion necessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reywas92 (talk • contribs) 17 January 2023, 02:21 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep. This has the potential to come to fruition and we shouldn’t be so hasty to assume it won’t and isn’t worthy of an article. Serratra (talk) 04:36, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep I do not think the WP Crystal applies here. The article is about an idea, that EU can become, or has become already, a superpower. It is not about a fact, it is a perception. This perception has been analysed and its potential has been explored by various authors. ( some examples include, ,, ). So it is a Keep from me, but maybe we could change the name to "EU as a superpower" Cinadon36 08:47, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The content will be kept regardless, it's all at Potential_superpower, and it's imprudent to keep a separate duplicate page. I should have just done a NAC with BLAR and no information would be lost while saving some breath.... Reywas92Talk 17:36, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Reywas. This is just a straight up copy of what's already in (still in) the other article plus an essay-like title, and it's unclear what reason there is for spinning it out. Arguing that it's notable misses the point. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 01:50, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Potential superpower, with which it is redundant. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 17:09, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
