War for Southern Independence

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

There is already an article on the American Civil War, from which this article borrows heavily. Both title and text appear to violate WP:NPOV Vgranucci 06:24, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect I accept that Naming the American Civil War is a valid article, but I see no reason to have seperate pages covering each name. Oh, and I fixed the broken link on the article's template, I hope that's ok.  FrozenPurpleCube 06:38, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect - Is it even necessary to go through the deletion process here? I'm surprised it isn't a redirect already.  It would be a valid enough search term.  On the other hand, it could be a dab, as War of Northern Aggression is (but I don't know of other wars that are called this). Smmurphy(Talk) 08:05, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect as described. - Richard Cavell 11:25, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect to American Civil War. --YbborTalk Survey! 15:10, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Ybbor. Ezratrumpet 00:56, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect as proposed. Baristarim 04:50, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above. This is a POV fork that has no extra information over and above the other article. Stifle (talk) 20:10, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong deletearticle has no references to cite that the name has been used before. Otherwise, why not call it "The War between two infidels who later got what they deserved from al-Qaeda on 9-11" because someone might think this to be the case (not me).  Also it is untrue because the war did not start after the South broke away. Don't redirect.A880M 20:54, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * For the record, Naming_the_American_Civil_War has several citations of the term. --YbborTalk Survey! 21:03, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The United States broke away from Britain after the American Revolution began, yet it was still a war for independence. dcandeto 22:49, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect unless we plan to allow full-blown, separate articles under War of Northern Aggression and Second American Revolution. dcandeto 22:47, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
