Keep, with reservations. This article needs editing to meet WP:NPOV standards (especially in the light that he is a living person), but given the size and complexity of the Hugo Chavez article it is a necessary split for the sanity of that article. JRP (talk) 01:34, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Have you looked at the Hugo Chavez article recently? It was slimmed down, with much material moved to daughter articles. Rd232 ^talk 01:47, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, no clear deletion rationale given. WillOakland (talk) 01:36, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- It could be clearer, but it seems to pointing at WP:COATRACK issues. Rd232 ^talk 01:47, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge relevant material to related articles, reformulated not as "criticism" (WP:SOAPBOX) but as verifiable, relevant, up-to-date, etc information. Rd232 ^talk 01:47, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. No any rationale for deletion was provided by the nominator.Biophys (talk) 02:02, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep' important enough. Some effort needs to be made to find not just criticisms, but RS discussions of the sort of criticisms he gets, & why. The tone of this article is altogether too negative & it needs some balance. "criticism of" does not mean "attacks on" DGG (talk) 02:21, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge--if there is criticism of Putin, Chavez, Peter Pan, etc., it should be in the main article. I'd like to make a principled stand here also, but I'm a vox clamantis already. Whatever info in this article is worth keeping should be incorporated into respective sections in the main article, not in some separate "criticism" section, which just attracts flaming and soapboxing. (Sorry if you've heard this before.) Drmies (talk) 02:36, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- Completely valid concept for an article. Needs to be sourced and NPOV, but thats a matter for editors, not deletion. Umbralcorax (talk) 02:50, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
