Talk:Towns in the Former RSK
Town Names
It is Hrvatska Dubica and Hrvatska Kosajnica, not Srpska Dubica or Srpska Kostajnica. Why are people such fools to create these names for cities that do not exist? And furthemore, one of those is in R.S., not Croatia. (LAz17 14:20, 30 August 2007 (UTC)).
Erasing?!?!
What the hell is this, for some guy to be erasing the entire page and make it redirect to the R.S.K. page?! This is their IP... 89.172.237.119 (LAz17 02:20, 9 September 2007 (UTC)).

I think that this is the discussion in which it was decided to create this article, which had previously been a category. There was a great deal of discussion, and disagreements on both sides, so this is clearly a controversial area. Therefore, major changes should be made only after seeking consensus, and not be the decision of a single anonymous user; if our IP user wants to log in and use AfD or this talk page to seek consensus, it would be more useful than just trying to remove the article. -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:30, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- The only thing that was concluded there is that the category should be deleted. Some people suggested it should perhaps be listified but majority said nothing on the subject. This "article" is a mere list of towns which were occuppied by Serbian forces, if anything it doesn't not satisfied the conditionas when something warrants an article on Wikipedia. What is next? "Article" with a list "Former Towns of Nazi Germany"? Come on... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.172.198.245 (talk) 12:28, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- The closing admin read the consensus as 'listify.' If you think it should be deleted, use the process. I don't know enough about Serbian history to have an opinion, considering how little actual explanation of the issues involved is in the discussion or in this article. Log in, go to AfD, and explain why it should be deleted. You have that right, and if you are in the right, the discussion will probably go the way you hope. But it's not obvious enough for you to make the decision alone, when we have a perfectly good process that will allow the community to share in the decision-making. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:31, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- Incidentally, I don't think I would have any problem with Countries in the former Nazi Germany or similar. They were bad; that doesn't mean they're necessarily non-notable. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:37, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- Tell me what value does this "article" has? Name me just one? I don't want to log in because I don't have an account and I don't want to create one. This "article" is just stupid, it's not an article, it's a list of towns which were occuppied by an illegal entity. In fact what I think I will do next is to create an "article" (a list actually) about "Former Towns in Nazi Germany", I am sure this "article" will be welcomed with open arms. There is an article named Republic of Serbian Krajina and you can find out everything you need to find out about the occuppied parts of Croatia and settlements there. There is no need for this list that pretends to be an article, if anyting this list if it really needs to exist should be part of that same article and should not exist on it's own. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.172.198.245 (talk) 12:41, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- If you aren't willing to create an account, you're right, you won't be able to nominate this article for deletion, and so you will have to accept its continued existence, unless someone else nominates it. I recommend against using Former Towns of Nazi Germany, because there were a huge number of towns and cities annexed by that country, and your list would become unreasonably long. Territories, or countries, will probably work better. By the way, you need a user account in order to create new articles, so you'll need to register. But I'm afraid that the fact that you aren't willing to become a registered user doesn't mean that you can work outside of Wikipedia's process. You'll have to choose whether it's worth registering in order to be able to create a new article or request deletion for an existing one. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:45, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- Again, I do not want this "article" to be deleted, I want it to be redirected and merged with Republic of Serbian Krajina where it actually belongs. What is next? Is Wikipedia going to create additional "article" for each section present in every article?
