Confusing and has no context. I tried CSD'ing and PROD'ding for no context or sources, yet 144.71.77.240 and GB fan declined it and refuse to tell me what the article was about.

Also, the article has been unreferenced since 2006, if no sources can be found, than this article should be deleted. Even on the talk page, people discuss how the websites they found on other Wikipedias were also unreliable and incorrect. Koridas 📣 02:15, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't refuse to tell you what the article is about, you never asked. The article is about the provincial quadrennial elections for Lower Silesia from 1921-1933. It shows how many seats each party won in each of the four elections. The only interaction I had with this article was to decline the A1 speedy delete request you placed. Prior to you placing the speedy delete tag, three people were discussing the article. They obviously knew what it is about. You could have asked any of us if you didn't understand what it is about. ~ GB fan 10:04, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is pretty obvious what this is about from the title itself. If anyone is unsure then they can look up Lower Silesia and Weimar Republic in their favourite encyclopedia and it doesn't take any great linguistic ability to get the meaning of Provinzialtag by analogy with Bundestag.

Yeah, seriously. Doesn't take a whole lot of work there, and if one isn't willing to do the work to click a link or two, one ought not be filing for deletion on it. Ravenswing 23:05, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for at least one line of prose...Mackensen (talk) 00:09, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Province of Lower Silesia as in the corresponding German Wikipedia article. —Kusma (t·c) 12:46, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge to Province of Lower Silesia. Mccapra (talk) 06:24, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Would be undue detail in Province of Lower Silesia, and more importantly is unsourced, so not mergeable. Sandstein 17:24, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Province of Lower Silesia has its own issues, we shouldn't add to it by importing this unreferenced problem into it. Kusma mentioned de.wikipedia, I'm assuming since they didn't mention sources there, they don't exist on that site either. Since it's been so long unsourced here and if there are no sources forthcoming from de.wikipedia, I'd say it fails WP:V and should be deleted. // Timothy :: talk 01:33, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Merging would give undue weight. The tables are unsourced anyway. Nomian (talk) 04:29, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
