 * Keep. Definately notable, but that's not the issue. The main reasoning was "to start the page from scratch." However, deletion and then a restart is not the greatest solution, as you'll have people quabbling over how to start it again. I suggest starting a new page from scratch on a user subpage, then negotiation, and then finally implementation when protection is lifted.  bibliomaniac 1  5  05:45, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * This will lead to a lame edit war. The article has been protected for quite a while now and notability is not the issue here. The reason is to restart both the article and its editors. Ackoz 05:49, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * And what exactly would magically prevent these current editors from latching onto the new article? --Action Jackson IV 05:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I have already started a user subpage a while ago as a sort of sandbox. user:Jadger/draft_expulsions--Jadger 07:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable, and it would be preferential to have placed the reasoning as a brand-new entry on the talk page, rather than requiring a scan of the entire TOC. I don't doubt that this is a problematic article, but I think mediation would probably be a better avenue. --Action Jackson IV 05:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep An edit war doesn't mean the article should be deleted. -- Chairman S. Talk  Contribs  06:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep I can't find any explanation for this deletion on the talk page. Review Deletion policy.  --Selket Talk 06:16, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep The other possibility is to divide the article into expulsions from particular countries, but that might just result in more  but better-focused edit wars.DGG 06:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Call for Speedy close as AFD is not for content disputes. -- Dhartung | Talk 06:35, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per all of the above reasons and agree with Dhartung that a Speedy close is in order. --Richard 06:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as per above--Jadger 07:23, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep- per above Astrotrain 09:50, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep as no deletion reason is offered. AfD is not to sort out content disputes. - Peripitus (Talk) 10:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep im in agreement with people above on this. Its well written and having read it and learnt somethign from it, its exactly what an encyclopedia is all about. --PrincessBrat 11:42, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep endless dispution about the content is not reason for deletion.  ≈Tulkolahten≈ ≈talk≈ 12:11, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
