This page just brings links to other exisiting pages. As a matter of fact, it should be an A10 (Recently created article that duplicates an existing topic see A10), but let's be careful and call for a community vote. --Sulmues 15:16, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - This page brings comprehensive view of Persecution from WWII to the most resent. Like a list, but it is still expanding. User:Sulmues just trying to delete all that is not in his pro-albanian pov. At the end, article is under construction. It cannot be deleted until it is finished. --Tadija (talk) 15:22, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: Please use good faith when writing in Wikipedia. Throwing accusations won't help a cause. I brought this under the Albanian and Croatian task forces because according to this version Serbs were persecuted by Albania and Croatia. sulmues (talk) --Sulmues 15:40, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: Since the article covers the Serbs of Kosovo, isn't this technically a violation of your topic ban? Athenean (talk) 20:40, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I thank Alexikoua and Athenean for kindly reminding me of the Kosovo topic ban. I take the ban very seriously and I am respecting it. However, as I have explained above, I nominated the article because according to this version Serbs were also persecuted by Albania, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia, other than Kosovo. Kosovo may be present in the article, but as an active member of the Albania task force I have to take care of the Albania project. However if any admin deems that my nomination is a break of the Kosovo topic ban, then I will cancel the nomination. sulmues (talk) --Sulmues 22:04, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Strong keep - "This page just brings links to other exisiting pages" - this is not at all uncommon on Wikipedia, such as with lists, and it is definitely not an argument for deletion. Perhaps if the article isn't better developed in time (and Tadija has politely explained that the article is under construction), I could maybe agree to a name change to "List of persecution against Serbs", but for now I see no reason to delete it. -- Cin é ma C  19:22, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong delete - this is clearly ideological article, which tends to represent Serbs as all-time persecuted victims by enumerating any "persecution" (attack, hatred, murder, etc.) ever happened to them in history (possibly as a part of bigest "Holocaust of Serbs" plan). Wiewing the self through the lens of a persecuted victim is crucial moment of Serbian nationalism. All interested can read academic work on this subject, writen at University of Otago: Globalizing the Holocaust. Beside, there's already article "Serbophobia" that serves for Serbian victimisation.--Mladifilozof (talk) 21:54, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: This afd should be canceled since the nominator is topic banned [] and this is considered violation of this 'ban'. @Sulmues: I kindly ask you to cancel the nomination, else I have to report you.Alexikoua (talk) 21:46, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
