[edit] Squats in ...

Nominating the following pages for deletion: Squats in ex-Yu, Squats in Italy, Squats in Spain, Squats in France, Squats in Poland, Squats in Germany, Squats in Switzerland, Squats in The Netherlands, Squats in USA, and Squats in Canada. These pages are basically identical to Squats in the UK, which was deleted by the discussion Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Squats_in_UK. I had added these pages to the original nomination, but the closing admin felt it would be better procedure to list them all. Leuko 15:39, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

• Note - The articles about Spain and Netherlands were not, imo, added to the UK AfD debate correctly, hence the reason they were not included in the original decision. I offered no opinion on whether those or any other articles should be listed. To say these articles are "basically identical" to the UK article does appear to be fair comment but I'll abstain from making a vote here. Deizio talk 16:21, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete all. These would be better as categories. --Aaron 18:18, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• Propasal I'd suggest maybe List of Notable Squats as a page to start with, then if some country starts to have a lot of entries branch off. I don't think that most of the entries now are valid, so there's little reason to merge them, but maybe there's something worth saving. That said, Squatting certainly has a list already, so there may be no real point to branching, unless people think that article is too long?? FrozenPurpleCube 18:19, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all the articles offer no context. Danny Lilithborne 21:44, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all but for different reasons:

- USA list - delete becuase we already havea list under punk house

- germany - we already have the bluelinked places listed in the squatting page under notable squats

- netherlands - reluctantly, i like it as a list, but see comments below

- lack of verification takes care of the rest

I mean, i think there are lots of lists here on wikipedia which i personally find a lot more worthless than these, but then squattign is an interest of mine and i appreciate that the lists are not verified at this time, although perhaps Mladifilozof, who recently created most of these pages and perhaps is still learning the ropes of wikipedia, will provide verification. There is already the list of notable squats on the squatting page and i hope i have moved all the blue links to that list, which can be expanded as necessary. I find it a shame that Squats in The Netherlands is also going to get deleted, becuase it is a list which has existed for quite a while and i personally find useful. moreover, i am slowly working through the squats making entries out of them, but i guess for now they can stay on the notable squats list. Further, I think its a shame Leuko is going about the deletion in this way, as i have already pointed out here and here. And finally it would be nice at least to have a real proposal for deletion of these pages Mujinga 22:59, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete all per Danny Lilithborne. Also, I just don't think we need to organize on this kind of thing. It's good to organize information to allow for easier browsing, but there are limits. Mangojuice^talk 20:38, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
