Ukrainian parliamentary election, 2007 Constitutional Court challenge

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The article was created to get around the protection of the main article (Ukrainian parliamentary election, 2007), and is heavily biased. There is no reason for this article to exist in the main namespace, it should either be userfied or deleted altogether. — Alex(U 04:06, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Support. Editor was trying to Gaming the system by creating new article in order to avoid discussion and reach consensus. --TAG 04:14, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Even lacking much knowledge of the situation, what the article's creator was trying to do is rather transparent.  This material belongs in the main article.  Unschool 04:30, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, the thing is, instead of discussing whether the material should be included in the main article, he decided to split it off into a different one right after discussion was started. — Alex 04:45, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, clearly a notable topic. I don't see the bias, but that's irrelevant anyway. This is such a big topic that subarticles should be encouraged. Everyking 05:16, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned above, there's an article already dedicated to it. — Alex 06:50, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * There is a general article about the election and another about the crisis. Not about the Constitutional Court challenge. Everyking 07:21, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Challenge? Heh. Even the title is biased. — Alex 08:18, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, the subject is notable and the amount of info makes it impossible to include into the main Ukrainian parliamentary election, 2007. If the article is biased please improve it Alex Bakharev 06:57, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually main article for this is 2007 Ukrainian political crisis and a lot of information - PACE, Constitutional Court and other is already given in correct context. --TAG 07:08, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Changed my vote to Delete. Appears to be a fork of 2007 Ukrainian political crisis Alex Bakharev 07:14, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, * clearly a notable topic.
 * There is no bias as claimed
 * The article was originally part of the article on the Ukrainian Election, 2007 but was removed in an act of censorship immediately prior to the current protection notice.
 * The original article was removed from the Elections article immediately prior to the protection notice without discussion or merit.
 * There is justification for the retention of this article as a separate article to the other articles.
 * The issue has been researched and all comments published are done so with citations and references included.
 * It is a factual account of recent events.
 * It stands alone and separate from the article on the Ukrainian Political Crisis and then election itself, although it has a symbiotic relationship similar to the article on the election.
 * Whilst the article associated with the election is related to the legality of the election and the events pertaining the Constitutional Court challenge as separate ancillary issues.
 * As a minimum the Election article should be amended to include a lead-in paragraph and a link to the Constitutional Challenge article and the comments associated with the Political Crisis article edited to a also include a single introduction paragraph and link to the main article
 * * likewise a single introduction paragraph should be inserted with a link to the main article on the Constitutional Court challenge on the Election page.
 * The initiator of the deletion motion has consistently sort to remove this information from publication. It is akin to those wishing to remove items on other contentious issues.
 * It is factual and a record of recent history.
 * If users feel the contents are inaccurate or lacking balance then they are welcomed to make a positive contributions to the editing of the article provided it is not seen to be an act of vandalism as recently occurred on August 31 by Richard.
 * The initiator of the deletion motion has not made any comments on the discussion pages as to what aspects he considers the article to be offensive or lacking encyclopedia merit. Again all items are a matter of fact.
 * To remove this item would bring Wikidpedia into disrepute.

I propose to add further information to the contents of this article as the matter is still under consideration by Ukraine's Constitutional Court as and when issues relevant to the content become known
 * Please refer to the discussion pages on the main article for more information. UkraineToday(U 18:40, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * As mentioned above, all of the information in the article listed for deletion is already in 2007 Ukrainian political crisis. — Alex Khristov 23:45, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, The article should remain. I have checked all the references and have verified that the content is factual and correct. It differs from the political crisis article in that it is focused on the legal issues as opposed to the politics best kept seperate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by SloneLaw (talk • contribs) 22:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * As mentioned above, and I don't know how many more times I'll be forced to recite this, there's already an article covering this topic in a more neutral manner, and its name is 2007 Ukrainian political crisis. — Alex Khristov 23:30, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The crisis article also focuses on legal issues. If there's anything left out, I'm sure it is only a couple of sentences. — Alex Khristov 23:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Looking over a small segment of the article (PACE quote), the quote from PACE was copied in a biased manner, as an example. When one user tried to make the article slightly more neutral, User:SloneLaw reverted him, claiming that there's no such text in the resolution. (diff) — Alex Khristov 00:05, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
