Deletion discussion about Removal of the Federal Government

Hello, Ruthhartnett116,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Removal of the Federal Government should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Removal of the Federal Government .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

• Hi! It looks like one of the major concerns is whether or not the material is original research, which would be research and conclusions you created on your own, based on sourcing that doesn't explicitly state these claims. I do think that the suggestion of merging and redirecting to the main article on the federal government is a good one - the main article isn't all that particularly long, so this could probably fit in there nicely with some work on the mentioned issues.

• Hello - the process led to a Keep vote, so good news! One comment made by everyone who argued for keep was the name was a bit misleading, so a discussion is starting on the article's Talk Page. As the creator and someone who clearly knows more on the topic than I, would be great if you could drop in. Cheers! Nosebagbear (talk) 08:26, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
