[edit] BRD
Delete and redirect. Appears to be an unsourced, original research, content fork of West Germany. Pastordavid 21:17, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. It seems to be a translation of the material at de:BRD, which is better sourced. It is a discussion of the use of this controversial abbreviation (!) and its political ramifications, not the country in general. The topic is evidently notable, given the book cited on the German page and the website given here (scroll down to BRD in the left column to get it to work).

- Merge to West Germany. If the name's controversy is really that notable then let it be discussed in the main article. There is no reason for this article to exist stand-alone as I see it. In addition to that any user searching with the query "BRD" will likely be looking for info on the country not the word itself. If the main article is too large and this sort of topic needs to be in a seperate article then that article should be titled BRD naming controversy or similar.
