The result was Delete. I would have closed as a merge and redirect, but Dhartung correctly points out that all sourced, verifiable information on the topic is already covered at Desinicization campaign. WaltonOne 14:45, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Desinicize

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

I was drawn to the desinicization campaign article because its long term edit war by new and unregistered users kept showing up at WikiRage.com. After reviewing the matter with others, it was concluded that the edit war largely was because the article was composed of original research, unreferenced, POV material. I protected the article, rewrote the article using only reliable source material, and post that material to the article. The purpose was to get that edit war under control and make the disputes around that topic manageable by others. A new editor's post of the old version was redirected back to Desinicization campaign. Desinicize is a POV content fork using the old, unreferenced version that generated the edit war. Desinicize should be deleted. -- Jreferee (Talk) 14:59, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete and redirect to desinicization campaign. What desinicize actually means is necessarily subjective, while a desinicization campaign can be documented. Regardless, we only need one article. --Dhartung | Talk 18:09, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
  • This guy just wants to force other people to accept his point of view. he deleted almost everything in the original article. he should change his article to "taiwan's desinicization campaign." desinize has been around for centuries, he obviously doesn't know history. And "campaign" is a wrong word to use. --Qpiuqwe 22:39, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge it back in. Recipe for problems, having separate articles. --Gwern (contribs) 22:58 14 September 2007 (GMT)
  • here is no need to "merge," that guy simply created a new article, and delete the entire content from "desinicization", and wants to force others to accept his own creation. if you search on google, you can only find ONE PAGE with his creation "desinicization campaign." you can find more than 10 pages if you search for the word "desinicization." so clearly, that was invented by him only. Everyone else around the world don't agree with that phrase. he should change his own article to "Taiwan's d campaign," And revert the original "desinicization" back to its original content. it is just that simple. --Qpiuqwe 05:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
  • All the usable (WP:RS) information in Desinicize already is contained in desinicization campaign. -- Jreferee (Talk) 07:20, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
  • yes, anything you wrote is "usable informaiton," anything that you don't like is not "usable." you clearly don't understand this word stands for, and you don't under the history of this thing at all. forcing other people to accept your view is just wrong. before you wrote that campaign article, many people have contributed to the original article which has been forced to merge by no one else, but you.--Qpiuqwe 00:47, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Reliable source information is usable. Original research information is not. A number of people - significantly more than those who contributed to this article - developed these policies/guidelines. If you feel that these policies/guidelines are not allowing you to contribute to Wikipedia in the way you like, please discuss that at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy). However, edit wars to by pass established policy/guidelines are not the way to go. -- Jreferee (Talk) 21:47, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
