List of wars involving England and France

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This page is absolutely terrible, and there's a already perfect list at Anglo-French War Ruddah (talk) 07:17, 28 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep It is the centenary of World War One this year. That's an example of a war which appears in this list but would not be considered an Anglo-French War.  The Crimean War is another example which is also remarkably topical. Andrew (talk) 08:59, 28 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. Though these are two important states, it seems a bit arbitrary and likely to open the floodgates to List of wars involving various combinations of country A and country B. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:48, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Anglo-French relations are a very notable topic covered in hundreds of books and scholarly articles, which doesn't apply to most pairs of countries. I considered merging to France–United Kingdom relations (and possibly the textual portion should be merged) but that article is very long and a list is good to have, fulfilling list guidelines WP:L by offering easy navigation to closely related articles. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:44, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge to France-United Kingdom relations as per above. ''' Flipandflopped  (Discuss,   Contribs)  12:49, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I forgot about the France-United Kingdom relations article which covers the same subject and it's already a thousand times better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruddah (talk • contribs) 20:22, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge to France-United Kingdom relations as per above. --Animalparty-- (talk) 23:09, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep Reasonable split of France-United Kingdom relations. Also it is different from Anglo-French War, since this list covers also wars where the two countries were involved as allies (if anything, it is Anglo-French War that should be merged here!). That the page is "absolutely terrible" means only that someone should be bold and fix it, instead of having it deleted: what can be solved by editing is solved by editing, not deletion, per our deletion policy.-- cyclopia speak! 13:40, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
