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

The content of this article is superceded by the "Superpower" page. It is pointless to have a second one reserved for countries/regions that may become superpowers. It is also worth noting that in the past, various pages on topics such as "China as an emerging superpower" were deleted after nomination. It appears various users are attempting to restore them, despite the decision to delete them. John Smith's 21:46, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

• This article has no content that does not exist in Superpower, but is a valid term in and of itself and as such has a section in the more comprehensive article. Woudln't it have been simpler to just do a redirect? Arkyan 22:03, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
  • If that is the consensus of the other contributors, I would agree with that. However a formal vote is required regardless in my opinion, as users may just revert the redirect. John Smith's 22:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect, unnecessary. Deltabeignet 22:26, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect per Deltabeignet. meshach 22:49, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to superpower. "Emerging superpower" is a valid term, but the article contains nothing that isn't already at superpower. If, following a consensus at AFD, the redirect is reverted without changing the content by addressing the issues raised here, caution the users to discontinue potentially disruptive behaviour. If such behaviour persists, report it at WP:ANI. -- Black Falcon 09:12, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
