[edit] Consequences of the Rwandan Genocide

Delete (see below). Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Even ignoring the poor quality of the writing, and with all due respect and empathy to the subject, this is just not an encyclopedia article because it doesn't contain any information. -- RoySmith 19:02, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Wait, what? How is this a soapbox at all? As you pointed out, its empty. I wonder what this VfD hopes to accompish. Its clearly an important topic, it's part of the {{Rwandan Genocide}} series, and clearly a work in progress. So rather than delete it, why don't we encourage its expansion. --Dmcdevit 19:31, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Why is Template:Rwandan Genocide a series instead of a single article? Many of the sections don't seem to be encyclopedia articles on their own. (e.g. Bibliography_of_the_Rwandan_Genocide, Glossary_and_supplements_for_the_Rwandan_Genocide). --Tabor 20:02, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Indeed, this is being done bass-ackwards. Write everything in one article first; when it gets too long, then split it out. That said, VFD isn't the right forum to fix this. No vote.—Wahoofive (talk) 05:08, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep for now, and check back in a year to see if the series mess is straightened out. — RJH 20:18, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• After reading the above, I'm changing my vote. When I proposed this VfD, I didn't realize it was part of a series. Merge this and the rest of the series into Rwandan genocide and stick a cleanup tag on it too; hopefully somebody will be willing to undertake a massive rewrite. --RoySmith 13:22, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge this and most of the series don't merge Role of the international community in the Rwandan Genocide as its probably developed enough to have its own article. Falphin 13:50, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
