United States of Central Asia

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

"United States of Central Asia" seems to be a concept invented by the article creator to write about various efforts and events wrt to the former Central Asian republics of the Soviet Union, and cooperation between them. While such an article may be interesting, it shouldn't be written from a POV of a non-existent "united states" moniker. E.g. the lead, "United States of Central Asia was the part of Central Asia administered by the Soviet Union between 1918 and 1991, when the Central Asian republics declared independence." gives the impression that this is something real, either during the Soviet Union or afterwards, which is clearly false. I'm not sure whether it is best deleted as a POV WP:COATRACK, or instead retitled and rewritten, but it can't stay as it is. Fram (talk) 09:35, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. No evidence has been provided that there ever was something called "United States of Central Asia". Furthermore, while some of the statements in this article are accurate, others border on delusional: "The Soviet Union would expand to be far larger than its then-current size, expanding to 24 (later 25) Soviet Socialist Republics (while downgrading preexisting SSR's to Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republics): ... Armenia – Azerbaijan – Bulgaria – Czech Republic – Estonia – Finland – Georgia – Hungary – Iran – Latvia – Lithuania – Manchuria ... – Moldavia ... – Mongolia – Poland – Romania – Russia ... – Slovakia – Tajikistan – Turkmenistan – Ukraine – Uzbekistan – White Russia (Byelorussia) – Yugoslavia[.] At an unspecified later time, Germany (which includes Austria and former Polish territory formerly part of the Weimar Republic sans East Prussia). Germany is termed quarantined Germany until full integration[.]" --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:20, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. Content of the article is nearly all nonsense historical fantasy fiction. There was never such an entity as the "United States of Central Asia". Violates WP:OR. ExRat (talk) 03:07, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per all above. Judging by creator's other edits this is a disruptive editor, not just someone with an idiotic pet project. WP:Speedy applies. PLEASE, moderator closing only because of the disruptions! gidonb (talk) 07:11, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete and block. As per above. The editor also seems to have a history of disruptive editing (see the mess made of the President of Zambia page history) so I would Agree with that a WP:NOTHERE block might be worth considering.
