The Principality of Wales
This appears to be a POV fork of Wales, edited only by User:Cardiff, who has also been making POV edits to Cardiff today. It has no links within the main namespace. The list of Princes of Wales should possibly be merged to Wales, but the commentary ("The Principality of Wales was created by the Crown in 1301 when Edward I unifyed the country as one for the first time in its history", for instance), is POV and liable to cause extreme offence. Vashti 18:26, 26 April 2006 (UTC) more As detailed at Talk:Cardiff, this user has also been making POV changes at Saint David's Day. Vashti 19:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC) His talk page history is also instructive, as he has been warned several times for this kind of behaviour, but refuses to engage in any discussion and simply blanks the page. I'm beginning to suspect a vandal at work. Vashti 19:15, 26 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. Everything useful in this article is already in Prince of Wales.  I don't think that a redirect would be worthwhile unless someone thinks that "The Principality of Wales" is a likely search term for this information.  Doctor Whom 18:55, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Part of apparent POV campaign, see history of Cardiff, Prince of Wales and Saint David's Day.  This article was copied from Prince of Wales (notice the unnecessary disambiguation link), with the Welsh-born princes (and related Welsh references) removed.  Econrad 19:51, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * And Wales. Definitely a vandal. Vashti 20:37, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Redirect - but not sure whether to Wales or to Principality of Wales (which is currently an unloved history stub) Telsa (talk) 06:58, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, there already is Principality of Wales? Looking at it, isn't all the material in it already in History of Wales?  Maybe it (and this) should be a redirect there. Vashti 07:35, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
