History of Sri Lanka: post-Colonial era (since 1948)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

The history of Sri Lanka does not only include the periods of the pre-Colonial era and the post-Colonial era when there have been many different stages of the history of Sri Lanka such as prehistory, ancient history, medieval history, colonial history and twentieth century history. Plus this is just a copy of all the information related to the page taken from the History of Sri Lanka page.

 * Delete if the content is indeed just a copy, possibly with a redirect if pertinent and/or a merge if the content of the new article differs/includes extra information. Zelse81 (talk) 02:45, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
 * delete Unlike the other sri-lankan history article nominated for deletion - this one does not appear to hold more information than its mother article - in fact in some areas it has less. There appears to be some information in this article that is exclusive and does not appear in the mother article, but there is more exclusive material in the mothr article. I suggest that either The mother article is restructured into summary style and the full treatment is moved to the spinnout articles or the spinnout articles are deleted. I am not about to undertke the rewriting of the mother article myself even though that seems to be the preferrable option - therefore delete.·Maunus· ƛ · 08:36, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
