Italian conquest of the Horn of Africa

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This page is clearly a WP:SYNTH amalgamation of three historical topics: Italian Somaliland (it should be noted that this territory wasn't "conquered" by Fascist Italy, as this article suggests), Second Italo-Ethiopian War, and Italian conquest of British Somaliland. These articles are already well developed. This one covers no new scope and is therefore redundant. Indy beetle (talk) 00:54, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. I have tagged it as a copyvio; even though the infobox and “See also” seem legit, the entire body is an extremely light paraphrase of a passage from Historical Dictionary of Somalia, p.124f. Commenting here in case the ‘furniture’ is considered to be valid content that disqualifies the article from CSD-G12.—Odysseus 1 4 7  9  04:54, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete as the nom states, this is a POV fork. So long as Wikipedia serves as an open field for cranks to write the narrative they prefer, we'll be inundated such material. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 07:13, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete, I dont't think it could be of any use for uor readers.--Pampuco (talk) 13:04, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
