[edit] Proposed Merger

Please state your rationale for the proposed merger. I think this could make a decent stand-alone article if it was sourced and expanded.--WilliamThweatt 19:46, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

The sources are the ones listed below in the original text, and they should cover all statements except the ones on frequent use in arguments later. Unfortunately, there is no online version of the US archive document (although I have a copy in my personal files). I have no opinion on whether a stand-alone article or merge is best.

[edit] Oppose

Can't see the point in a merger. If the text were expanded, and there was more information about the controversy, including the alleged source of the document and the way it was used by Subandrio et al, it would be a 'proper' article. Also more than one article links to it, and there would be an equally strong argument for merging it into those as well. Davidelit 02:35, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Support

On the contrary, when I checked the document what links here, only Soekarno article links to this article. This article describes a specific document used to overthrow Soekarno. Furthermore this article is not strong enough to stand as an article. Thus I support the merger with the following reason: this article will make the Soekarno article stronger. — Indon (reply) — 14:16, 29 August 2006 (UTC) Agreed. Also, since the document was a fake, its name seems ill-chosen. The title doesn't explain the content, and propagates the continuation of a false notion.Camusgoalie 15:29, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
