[edit] Politics of Wallonia

Article should be merged back into Wallonia. Article starts with a self-reference.TrackerTV (CW|Castform|Green Valley) 00:43, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

• Withdraw nom Article has now been heavily expanded. I think this article is much better than the one that existed when the article was nominated for deletion. TrackerTV (CW|Castform|Green Valley) 14:38, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Back-merge anything that meets inclusion standards into the Wallonia article. While informative articles about politics by country are acceptable, information about the political structures of individual states, provinces, districts, etc. is best served by adding to their respective articles. --Kinu ^t/_c 01:09, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
  • No vote: The article now looks significantly better, and is in the spirit of the other sub-country politics articles mentioned below, in that a better distinction is made as to the politics of Wallonia both within and distinct from the country itself. --Kinu ^t/_c 18:29, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge back to main article anything that needs merging. -- Whpq 01:11, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge anything useful per above. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 04:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge Somebody could merge this into Wallonia by Meets and inclusion. Daniel's page ☎ 06:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per above. Martinp23 10:28, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, no need to compress articles. There's a lot that can be said about this topic. The idea to merge this is strongly biased, confer Politics of Abkhazia, Politics of British Columbia, Politics of Assam, Politics of Toowoomba, Queensland and so forth. Any state that has a separate (which is in this case very separate) government, with its own parliament and secretaries, deserves its own Politics article. I agree that this may not be obvious if you don't know the topic, so here's my telling you. The article just needs decent cleanup and considerable expansion. --Thunderhead 13:28, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• KeepStrong Keep. Granted this article has much room for expansion and wikification, but that is no grounds for deletion or merging. The politics of Wallonia differ greatly from the politics of Belgium's other half, Flanders, as exemplified in this article in The Economist. Ardent^†_∈ 13:40, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge back into Wallonia, if there's enough for an article after that, recreate it. Carmen Chamelion 15:09, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge per all of above. --CPAScott 15:42, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep There is strong precedent for this sort of article, I removed the self-referential opening, the article just needs clean-up and expansion. ONUnicorn 19:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as now expanded (and will be expanded further); note that the article was considerably revised since the above opinions were posted so that merge may no longer be a valid option. Angus McLellan (Talk) 12:30, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, vastly improved. --Dhartung | Talk 20:23, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
