There was only one keep vote, which was also countered. Most editors, including myself and the nominator of the AfD, Bastun, were in favor of draftifying it, yet the AFD was closed as NC. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 05:40, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

• Endorse. Whether the Keep !vote was countered or not is a matter of opinion, and well within the closing admin's discretion. With only three other participants after three weeks, I'd say consensus isn't obvious. But instead of taking it to DRV, or even to AfD, why not tag it for HISTMERGE, and handle this editorially? Once the history merge is complete, the result will likely be uncontested. Owen× ☎ 13:48, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Rossiyane (closed)

Rossiyane – This is outside the scope of Deletion Review, as the merge did not occur as a result of a deletion discussion; rather, Talk:Rossiyane#Requested move 5 January 2015 led to this. The best place to discuss reverting this merge would be at Talk:Russian citizenship law or a similar talk page. Daniel (talk) 05:53, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Rossiyane (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (restore) I saw the discussion on the talk page (Talk:Russians#Ethnic_group_?) and noticed again that deleting an article in 2015 causes problems. It is necessary to restore the article about the people of Russia. The lack of this article is the biggest shame in the history of Wikipedia. Otherwise, I will propose to merge into one article such articles as: British people and English people, European Americans and Americans, Belgians and Flemish people, Swiss people and Germans, Han people and Chinese people, Kosovars and Albanians and many others. The reasons for restoration are obvious to anyone who understands the difference between citizenships and ethnic groups. ruASG+1  04:39, 6 October 2024 (UTC) Question - The appellant appears to be requesting to unmerge a merge that was done boldly, without a deletion discussion. Is DRV the proper forum for this request, or should the discussion at Talk:Russians continue so that a rough consensus can be reached on whether to unmerge? Does any purpose of DRV apply to this request? Robert McClenon (talk) 05:20, 6 October 2024 (UTC) Comment - After looking at the 5 purposes of DRV, my opinion is that it does not fall into any of those categories. Would an RFC be a better vehicle to address this request? Robert McClenon (talk) 05:24, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
