I redirected this unattributed copy back to Kohima#History but was reverted. No need to have a duplicate, nearly identical page for this. Fram (talk) 07:19, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Redirect as AtD Agree totally. No added value from original. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 08:41, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: There is no cause for having AFD discussion here. Kohima#History section will become too massive if continued to add more information. Article was created to expand the history of Kohima and to give a better detailed understanding of its history. Article can be improved with more sources.

Comment -- Having a main article on the history might be legitimate, if the "main" article had more detail than than Kohima#history. If the creator has an intention of expanding it soon, he should be given the chance. WP:DONOTBITE Peterkingiron (talk) 21:49, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Peterkingiron that there's nothing wrong with a spinoff article. Assuming that that is what's happening. If the process will take more that a few days though, the author should voluntarily move it to their sandbox and work on it there. Elinruby (talk) 23:41, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep if above suggestions by Elinruby and Peterkingiron are followed ~~within a reasonable amount of time~~ and the author(s) identify when they will be done by, delete and move to sandbox if not. benǝʇᴉɯ 10:13, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above discussion. I just do not understand a valid reason in policy to delete. Bearian (talk) 18:56, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Bearian: AfD is also for disputed redirects. Just copying the information from article X to new article Y (without attribution to boot) and then abandoning it is not helpful and a good reason for redirection Fram (talk) 06:59, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Fram. A changed !vote. Bearian (talk) 14:54, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Kohima#History. There may come a time when a separate article is required, but we are not close that now. Better to let the article develop organically, splitting at this stage is just inviting a content fork. Xymmax ^{So let it be written} _{So let it be done} 03:34, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
