Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arpitania

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 that deletion is nowhere involved. The nominator wanted a merger. Other editors wanted a merger. You can all do mergers yourselves, with the editing tools that you all have. An administrator hitting a delete button is not required. Article merger does not involve deletion at any stage of the process. Do not bring articles to AFD where an administrator hitting a delete button is not part of what you want. Uncle G (talk) 20:25, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arpitania

Arpitania (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Propagandistic subject with no scientific base. Whatever usefull content it contains should be merged with the Franco-Provençal language article and the article itself should be deleted. Godefroy (talk) 18:45, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks Godefroy to warn me about this AfD. Months ago I deleted every single article linked to Arpitania. In the end, only one sentence is left in the article about the "Franco-Provençal". I did so, because Arpitannie does not exists. It has been created in 1970 and has no cultural, historical or even linguistical factual background. To confirm this I contacted a senior researcher in linguistic of the university of Lyon. This was my 2 cents :) Schiste (talk) 19:42, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Arpitania seems like a region that should have its own article considering the language area of it. Captain panda 04:08, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
• Merge to Franco-Provençal language#Arpitania. SilkTork *^SilkyTalk 19:24, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
