Statistics of Dresden

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I happened across this article while cleaning up German location infoboxes, and realized that it is (1) orphaned and (2) out of date. The sourcing is spotty, and, unless there is a strong reason for it, I don't know why the important material cannot be covered in the parent article, Dresden. I updated the infobox, but there is more to be done, and it doesn't seem like it's worth it if it will just drift out of date again.

 * Merge: Sure it can be covered in the parent article. That's what mergefrom and mergeto are for, not AfD.  WP:ATD - BalthCat (talk) 18:29, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment- What, in particular, needs to be merged? I didn't see anything important that wasn't already covered in the parent article, which is why I brought this to AFD. No need for a redirect, just simply delete it. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk)  19:58, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I assumed from your wording that it was not completely redundant. If that's the case, the merge is unnecessary and the article can be deleted.  (In Dresden's defence, however, Demographics of New Brunswick is an article, and we're not much bigger than Dresden, and that isn't even all our statistics, just our demographics :P) - BalthCat (talk) 06:04, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete, or redirect to the article about Dresden. This is what WP is all about-- the admonition against cutting and pasting lots of statistics without any attempt to understand or to explain them.  Mandsford 23:41, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete/Merge. It looks like it largely duplicates what's in the city article, no need for duplication.  If there is any info here that is not there, it could be added.  David V Houston (talk) 13:16, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect per Mandsford. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:08, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
