The result was keep. There wasn't much participation in the last AfD, but even still, it was merely two months ago, and barring unusual circumstances, I'd consider that too recent to justify another one. Regardless, there's been a good discussion here so we can call it settled. ~ Amory  (u • t • c) 01:37, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

This is a bizarre article, full of original conjecture and POV categorisation with no inline sources. Heliotom (talk) 04:57, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. A notable topic but poorly written article. AfD is not for cleanup. Szzuk (talk) 20:53, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, 78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 16:50, 28 March 2018 (UTC) Keep -- What does nom mean by stating that there are no inline sources. It seems that the entries are each one sourced to some article that calls them totalitarian. Anyway, as usual, we have to look at WP:LISTN, which teaches us that "ne accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources..." That's so obviously the case with totalitarian regimes that I'm surprised this even made it to an AfD. Perhaps nom will consider withdrawing it, esp. given that being "bizarre" is not an accepted deletion criterion. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 18:52, 28 March 2018 (UTC) User:Araukan(talk) 4 april 2018(UTC)

 * Keep i don't think that deleting this article is the right decision,this article is very notable on the history/politics topic.I'm also doing some efforts to improve this article by adding sources and other things.
