Danubian Europe[edit]

A classic piece of original research. Note the user-made map, the coatrack-like stringing together of disparate concepts (Danubian Principalities, Danubian Latin, Danubian school) meant to give the impression they all fall under a single broader umbrella, the bibliography that is at best tenuously connected to the concept. Granted, the term is used, and we should mention it in the appropriate places (Danube, Central Europe), but the sources make clear it's a synonym for Central Europe and Mitteleuropa. Already those two articles are proposed for merger; a third one covering the same ground just isn't needed. Biruitorul ^Talk 01:17, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Danubian europe exist and is common to refer to this part of Europe as Danubian europe.For me there difference between Mittleeuropa and Danibuan Europe, Trieste is a city of Mittleeuropa but don't belonge to the Danubian europe. The article can be divided in other article ( ex an article about danubian soccer school ). User:Lucifero4
- Do you have sources indicating that the term differs from Mitteleuropa? Your own opinion on where Trieste fits is immaterial here; we need reliable sources indicating the two concepts are different enough that two articles would not be mere content forks of each other. - Biruitorul ^Talk 21:44, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - That is a link to a page whwre Triste is part of Mitteleuropa. Switzerland a part of Mitteleuropa is not part of Danubian Europe. [1]User:Lucifero4
    - NationMaster is a mirror of Wikipedia: see here. Since WIkipedia is not a valid source for other Wikipedia articles, that's not good enough. - Biruitorul ^Talk 23:11, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to ~~Mitteleuropa~~ Central Europe (agree with Deor below), where a brief, referenced section discussing this particular term should be created. This article is incoherent, and it's clear that the multiple senses of use the article discusses don't hang together in any convincing way. But the term appears to have some academic currency, and there's a place for it somewhere in Wikipedia: just not as a full article in its own right.

- Agree with Redirect Article has sources, but it really feels empty. Not a whole lot of content. Mitteleuropa with a new subsection should work fine.Chubr0ck (talk) 17:44, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect per Gonzonoir, though I would suggest Central Europe as the better target. Deor (talk) 15:58, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree about Central Europe, and have changed my suggestion above. Gonzonoir (talk) 19:34, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. Does not appear to be notable or non-original enough for its own article, but redirecting it to Central Europe may be helpful to the reader. Letsdrinktea (talk) 23:50, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
