Merchant republic

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This was a redirect to Maritime republics until today when an IP wrote or rewrote this completely garbled version. User:Doug Weller restored their redirect but it was removed again. It’s an incoherent ramble which will only serve to mislead readers, so I’m bringing it here. Mccapra (talk) 20:44, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect No clear reason why this would be a separate article, content already covered there. Reywas92Talk 21:07, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Deleted as having been created and then edited by two sockpuppets: Sockpuppet investigations/-Ilhador-/Archive. This is part of an odd push by editors and IPs from Rio de Janeiro, see Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive810 and Requests for comment/Request board/Archive 2 - there are other similar threads.

 * Protect as a redirect which it is as I write. The redirect is a credible search term.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:57, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
