Started as a POV fork, very likely becomes a POV magnet, and is largely unsourced. Per consensus (see Talk:Germany (terminology)), the content of this article was merged into History of Germany. There was no consensus for the new spin-out. Cs32en Talk to me 03:31, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This is a topic of interest to English speakers. The article is informative, if a bit sprawling. Borock (talk) 04:26, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment this page is highly identical to the previous Germany (terminology) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) article (Germany (terminology) . 184.144.161.207 (talk) 06:12, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to Names of Germany this is simply a Names of Germany article. 184.144.161.207 (talk) 06:05, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I have no objection to that. It's a better title. Borock (talk) 14:28, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Userfy
againA lot of problems with this article,although the author has clearly put a lot of work into it before posting it. The explanation of terminology would work better in the form of a list rather than as a long narrative or an essay, and there's no sourcing. Looks like over 100 different italicized terms here, so it needs to go for navigability rather than prose. It may well be that a merge to Names of Germany would be a better fit if some of these terms aren't already in there. Mandsford 21:33, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]- Comment it's a fork of History of Germany with text of Germany (terminology) resplit off that page... 65.94.47.11 (talk) 07:33, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the clarification. In that case, I'd just say userfy if someone wants to make this a stand alone article. I'm glad that this turns out to be a cut and paste and not to have been the work of one person, because it's a very inefficient way to present what should be a list of terms and explanations. There are some things that don't need long, boring, prosaic descriptions, and this is one of them. Mandsford 13:59, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
