List of countries where United Nations peacekeepers are currently deployed

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

Redundant and overlaps with List of United Nations peacekeeping missions. Every bit of text in this article is the same as in the main article (this one has only current UN missions, the other one has all and is then better). Even the images are in exact same places, only the lead has been modified to match the article name. We should not copy parts of larger lists to create new lists? It's easier to have comprehensive list of all missions, what's wrong if we can redirect this to right section which has the exact same list? Earlier nominated for featured list removal here and demoted. (in fact redirecting the article to the other one was agreed as well but this is not accepted by one editor) Pudeo⺮ 18:20, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete They're basically identical, except the one up for deletion doesn't have completed missions. By counting them, anyway, the same current missions are in each. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 18:47, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as redundant. --Dhartung | Talk 18:57, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I would like to believe that this article contained new information, but it really is a rearrangement of the tables in the section called List of United Nations peacekeeping missions .  The columns are shuffled around, the sorting is alphabetical instead of chronological, but that's about it. 72.151.55.27 (talk) 20:15, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, redirect List of United Nations peacekeeping missions. Most lists that are brought to AfD are brought for the wrong reasons. This is one of the rare instances where a genuine concern regarding a list has been brought to light.  Essentially, it's a retabling of content already available in a current list that doesn't provide anything new.  However, as a likely search term, it should redirect to the appropriate section so people don't go crazy trying to find it.  Celarnor Talk to me  20:24, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Redirect to List of United Nations peacekeeping missions as this is (just) a plausible search term. --Nick Dowling (talk) 10:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Pudeo here is simply wrong, and he either knows he is wrong, or should by now, since we already discussed it. It is untrue that "Every bit of text in this article is the same" or that anyone "cop[ied] parts of larger lists to create new lists." He has repeated these first at FLC, then at the talk page where he warred over it, and now has gone to AfD when there was no consensus for his removing the article. In fact, this was the first list, and then there was the idea to make a list for all missions, so "copying from the larger article" is a rather silly claim. Actually, this is a lit of countries, and some of us have found it useful to have such a list, organized by country, as a reference. The other list is intended not as a list of countries which share the attribute of having peacekeepers, but a list of the missions itself, and also has a chronological arrangement unhelpful for the other use. I don't understand why Pudeo is pursuing this like he is; you would think that a little bit of duplication for a good cause wouldn't be so bad. Dmcdevit·t 23:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
