 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. There is certainly no consensus for deletion here and the keep arguments look to have the best of this discussion. However this does not prevent someone proposing a merge to see if there was consensus on the talk page. Davewild (talk) 07:45, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Model United Nations in the United States

 * Delete or Merge with Model United Nations. This page solely and obviously serves the purpose of promoting the website "Best Delegate", which is almost exclusively used to (inaccurately) source the claims made in this article. The Article has no analogy to a structure, organization or phenomenon in real life, except the artificially induced "American Circuit", coined by the website in question. It's therefore redundant in the light of the two pages Model United Nations and List of Model United Nations conferences.

Looking at the list of references, I have to agree that the article seems fairly biased towards providing mostly content from a single source. Taking away all the BestDelegate references, the article would be left with only a few unique references. Perhaps it really was written with self promotion in mind? Maybe this article would better be merged with the main Model United Nations article while compressing some information so as to make it less dependent on a single source as well as reduce redundancies in information.

 * Strong Keep Notable organisation, passes WP:GNG, also Mid-Importance article in 2 WikiProjects (US and International relations). Joseph2302 (talk) 13:12, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - the article Model United Nations is already very long. Merging the content would make the article difficult to read. When an article is larger than 50 kb a size split is justified. See Splitting. If the two articles were combined it would bring the size to about 48 kb.That is close enough to 50 to consider the value of a size split. There is also some justification for a split due to different content.  Splitting. Waters.Justin (talk) 10:12, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge with Model United Nations. I do not think that MUN in the United States requires a separate article, especially since the content in this article doesn't seem to be of an encyclopedic calibre, especially since virtually all sources appear to be from the Best Delegate website. Most if not all of the content could simply be placed under the "United States" section in the main Model United Nations article. Qasaur (talk) 22:12, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep: plausible split article; notable: US Department of State (not independent of the subject, but at least received notice from a official branch of the US government), and a lot of coverage regarding Model UN events in the US. Esquivalience t 02:38, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
