The result was   keep. It seems more appropriate to discuss what to do with this article on the talkpage since deletion isn't really an issue. Merge, redirect, redestribute content... all of them can be discussed but not here. Tone 13:52, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

History of Joseon Dynasty

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Since the one-day-old newbie refuses to regard Consensus, I raise the issue to here. The user in question has appeared to take out massive information from the article of Joseon Dynasty, one of dynasties in Korean history, without any notice nor discussion at the talk. And then s/he moved the materials to his created article, History of Joseon Dynasty. In fact, the new article is actually dealt in History of Korea and there is no need to have two articles on the same subject. The new article was proded by an editor, but the newbie solely insists that the article of Joseon Dynasty is too long, and should be separated. As I restored his undiscussed version, and suggested him to open a discussion and seek a consensus, but the user falsely accused me of doing "vandalism" and then reverted. And reverting his consecutive edits are "vandalism". As my suggestion, he opened a discussion at the talk, but urged me to follow policies (in fact his own policies) without further explanation. He variously quotes Wiki policies unlike his registered date on "Today" but failed to present the article should be separated. I believe that this article is simply redundant, so I think this should be as a redirect age after the whole cut-and-pasted edits are removed. Caspian blue 23:32, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep.History of Korea is about Korea. History of Joseon Dynasty is about one of Korea's dynasty-Joseon Dynasty. The current Joseon Dynasty is 76KB well abve 30-50KB set by Article size and its history section accounts for almost half of its size. ADKTE (talk) 23:41, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect The original Joseon Dynasty article is of manageable length. The 30-50 length is a guideline not an absolute, as are many things on Wikipedia - see WP:IGNORE and WP:LAWYER. Possibly there could be a reduction in size by looking carefully at the wording and detail, but I can't see the need to split the article like this. Peridon (talk) 00:14, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy close. Even the nominator thinks this should be a redirect.  Redirects and content debates do not belong at AFD, per WP:BEFORE.  Neier (talk) 10:04, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
