Nationalisms in Canada

 * – ( View AfD View log )

 * Comment. Not the same thing as Canadian nationalism. I take it that nationalisms in Canada is supposed to describe things like Quebec nationalism—the whole point of which is that Quebec is not a part of Canada, or at least not a part in the same sense as other provinces. Canadian nationalism, by contrast, would be the view that the geographical area known as "Canada" as a whole (including Quebec, including Alberta—see Wexit) is a nation and should exist as such. I would almost be inclined to move Canadian nationalism to Nationalism in Canada and selectively merge the non-WP:ESSAY paragraphs in Nationalisms in Canada into that article.

 * Comment: Agree with the above that this isn't actually the same thing as Canadian nationalism. Covering the various nationalist strains within Canada that are not about the country as a whole seems like it could be a valid topic, but the page as it stands has very sparse sources and reads like an essay— something between WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. Whether this stays depends on whether better sourcing can be found IMO. — Kawnhr (talk) 19:11, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Delete outright, or merge with Canadian nationalism to Nationalism in Canada or Nationalist movements in Canada?
 * Delete at a minimum rename to Nationalist movements in Canada (or similar). I agree the redirect to Canadian nationalism is inappropriate, they are both distinct and notable topics. This topic with an appropriate name is notable, for a list at minimum or an article. However this page is written as a good faith OR SYNTH essay. If you remove this unsourced material, you are left with a stub. It will take far more time to rewrite this topic from what it is now, then it would be to start over properly. TNT exists for a reason, editors (including the creator) that wish to create a proper article shouldn't be hindered by trying to create a sourced article out of a good faith but undersourced essay, when the resulting history would be of dubious relevance. Sometimes articles should get do overs.  // Timothy :: t | c | a  14:35, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:TNT. Better to start over from scratch (with a better title), as this seems to be mostly SYNTH. As an old Canadian, I've never heard of "nationalisms". Clarityfiend (talk) 09:08, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete I'd be more inclined to vote Keep if it had sources, it's mostly rambling a series of small "what-ifs". Could be put in an article on Canadian history, but would require a rewrite. Oaktree b (talk) 21:33, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - see published full books like Irish Nationalism in Canada or articles like "Sikh Diaspora Nationalism in Canada" that could be used to expand this article. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 18:47, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
