Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fascism (United States) (2nd nomination)

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The result of the debate was WITHDRAWN by nominator; I did not realize that this was listed just two weeks ago. Besides, reorganization is currently being performed. Hopefully, this can be transformed into something encyclopedic. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Crotalus horridus (talk • contribs) 04:34, January 10, 2006.

[edit] Fascism (United States)

Possibly the ugliest article on Wikipedia. There is literally more room taken up by disclaimer templates than by the actual article. The article itself doesn't consist of much more than a note stating that some people have used fascism as a pejorative political epithet, and is redundant with other articles.

• Delete has no real information, basically just says "nobody knows if there's fascism in the US", worthless and unsalvageable. -Drdisque 03:21, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep pending merger and redirect - Note It is really bad form to start this vote after the recent previous vote for deletion failed; especially while most of the involved editors are actually in the ongoing process of merging the contents to two other pages for efiting. It just is mean, and shows no notice of ongoing discussions. Really tacky. Please at least attempt to follow the discussion pages and previous votes. A tiny bit of hoemework is an important way of showing good faith. This was just POV warrior bashing. Not constructive at all.-- Cberlet 03:30, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete — Worthless and unverfied material with absolutely no potiential. — Seven Days » talk 03:50, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep; With the anti-Republican screed taken out, as it has been, this could be an interesting article on fascism in America, which did exist in the 20s and 30s. Several editors are/were working on making it just that. I agree with Cberlet that bringing this right back to AfD is not constructive. Tom Harrison ^Talk 04:05, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per comments above. Merger discussions are underway. Why is there no link to previous AfD? -- JJay 04:12, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep: Change vote because I didn't realize the other AfD closed less than two weeks ago. There is absolutely no reason to renom in the face of the massive participation in the last AfD and with efforts to improve the article. -- JJay 04:21, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I see no reason to delete this article.--MONGO 04:13, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, as per Seven Days. --King of All the Franks 04:16, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
