Timeline of events in Cyprus, 1974

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The article is not only highly unsourced and has been for at least five years from the maintenance template, it is clearly dogged with nationalism and any attempts to change either get reverted or nobody cares enough to make said changes. Additionally, since this is about 1974 in Cyprus, I believe there are a reasonable amount of articles that cover this subject including but not limited to "Turkish Invasion of Cyprus", "Cyprus dispute", "Military operations during the Turkish invasion of Cyprus" all of which are in comparison to this, fairly sourced-neutral.

 * Delete: 'Timeline of' articles are actually a special case of 'List of' articles, and they suffer from the same weaknesses in that they are easily filled up with entries that in themself may be relevant for the theme, but taken together create an imbalance that violates WP:NPOV. Even if individual entries are sourced, the relative importance of the different entries is difficult to assess. This is, of course, also a problem in an ordinary article, but much more so in list articles, and it is especially critical in contentious topic areas. Other articles cover this topic far much better. --T*U (talk) 07:35, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
