Kurdistan independence

Unreferenced, POV article. tagged it for speedy deletion because the article was "[p]ure vandalism and racist Turk-bashing". Cunard (talk) 21:01, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete on the material. I agree 100%, it is wholly unencyclopedic, unreferenced, and POV.  And we already have an article on Kurdistan and it is a quite good one, I might add, although controversial and a target for dispute and vandalism.  Maybe contemplate recreating a page, or a redirect to Kurdistan.  A google scholar and news archive search shows that the term "Kurdistan independence" has received some use.  (i.e.: "Iraq: Pan-Kurdish conference debates Kurdistan independence - BBC Archive - NewsBank - Nov 14, 2005" or see Action Party for the Independence of Kurdistan)  Cazort (talk) 21:43, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This article is pure POV-pushing. The topic is important and notable, but it is already covered in Kurds in Turkey and Human rights of Kurdish people in Turkey. Looie496 (talk) 22:47, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * keep . I have fixed and deleted a lot of the point of view pushing.  I have also referenced almost everything in the article.  CashRules (talk) 00:24, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Kurdistan and maybe build a section about the separatist movement. 76.66.196.218 (talk) 06:30, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Kurdish nationalism. If this particular subject is to be covered in Wikipedia -- and it should -- it should be discussed under the heading Kurdish independence movement because the subject should be discussed as a movement per se. But until an article is written about the movement, we should use a redirect to the closest related topic. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:27, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree, I think this is a good interim solution. If people later want to take on the work of spinning off a separate article, that would be great.  But right now that article is much better-written and better-sourced than this one!  Cazort (talk) 15:03, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
