The Republic of Abkhazia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Apparent WP:POVFORK of Abkhazia. The Republic of Abkhazia redirect has been protected since 2008 to prevent this. The last version before the redirect is this, which was a lot longer but has essentially the same basic information. The author seems to have created the article in response to the proposed deletion of a template. § FreeRangeFrog croak 20:49, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Abkhazia. Yeah, it's a POV fork, but it's also a likely search term. Plus, the protection of the other redirect, as opposed to deletion, tends to show that this is useful. 168.12.253.66 (talk) 20:54, 5 June 2013 (UTC) Edit: I also support redirecting Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia 168.12.253.66 (talk) 18:38, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment It is a plausible redirect of course, which I attempted to turn it into. However the protection is quite old, the author could not really explain his rationale and I felt this merited a discussion. § FreeRangeFrog croak 20:58, 5 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment - Appears to be a broken redirect as of my clicking. We should just fix the redirect then. ö   Brambleberry   of   RiverClan  22:42, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Redirect, and redirect Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia too. These articles are redundant to Abkhazia (epically it's lead, "International status" and "Government and administration" sections). Weather Abkhazia is an independent country (the "Republic of Abkhazia") or a part of Georgia (the "Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia") is disputed, but the main article covers both the dispute, and covers both the ROA and the AROA. The AROA history section is at best redundant to the main article's History section, and is at worst a POV fork.


 * I agree with the creator that Abkhazia's infobox is a neutrality problem in it's current state, but the solution is to fix the infobox, not to create this article. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 08:09, 6 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment Adding Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia to nomination. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 08:11, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep both articles, per Kosovo and China split system, that was the best posible solution for neutrality and encyclopedic expension of those topics. Two conflicting political entities should not be in one article. And all political matter should be removed from main article, Abkhazia. -- WhiteWriterspeaks 10:46, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * China is not in a split system any longer. CMD (talk) 10:53, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect both to Abkhazia as forks. --BDD (talk) 17:35, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect The Republic of Abkhazia to Abkhazia, per the Republic of Abkhazia redirect. Redirect Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia to Government of the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia, as this will likely be much more related to any use of the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia wikilink.
