Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Secession in Russia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. There is clear consensus that the current content, under the current title, does not belong in the encyclopedia, so this all starts with a delete consensus.

After that, the multi-way merge suggestion of North of Eden has substantial support. I'm not going to go so far as to state that there's consensus to do that, but there's also certainly nothing here which prevents somebody from going ahead and doing it on their own as part of the normal editorial process. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:09, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Secession in Russia

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A sketchy, largely unsourced list of alleged movements and proposed states without any article content at all (compare Secession in the United States or Secession in India). Many of the political parties seem to be marginal and little-known. Delete per WP:RS, possibly WP:OR and WP:N. HPfan4 (talk) 11:48, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A list article might be legitimate, but there's duplication with List of active separatist movements in Europe#Russian Federation and List of active separatist movements in Asia#Russian Federation. Duplication is bad - although there's nothing to stop someone replacing the content in "List of active separatist movements in Europe" with a link here, if you feel this is the better article. Both articles are flawed: full of redlinks/non-notables and lacking in sourcing. So if you can find any content worthy of merging, I'd suggest merging in one direction or the other; otherwise, deleting this may be the simplest solution.

Move to List of active separatist movements in the Russian Federation. I would suggest blanking the page's current content and replacing it with the content of List of active separatist movements in Europe#Russian Federation and List of active separatist movements in Asia#Russian Federation. The new article could serve as the "main article" for each of these sections. North of Eden (talk) 23:13, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
