Timeline of politics and diplomacy during World War II[edit]

Delete, albeit with regret. I disagree with the nom regarding notability: the subject itself is certainly notable. However, the article has been on WP since 2005 but it is still in pretty bad shape (the only entries are for 1939 and no sources). More importantly, the artticle now is a content fork for better and more comprehensive Timeline of World War II. The latter article, and its subarticles, arranged by year (Timeline of World War II (1939) to Timeline of World War II (1945) already contain all the information that might concievably go into the present article. So this one is effectively functioning as a content fork now, so it should to be deleted on those grounds. Nsk92 (talk) 00:36, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I agree that notable really isn't a good word to use, I just couldn't figure out what word to use, sorry. Tavix (talk) 15:36, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I agree with Nsk92 that this is, indeed, a "content fork" from existing chronologies of World War II. After three years, they've never gotten past the first two months of the war, and I don't see any reason that they should continue. Mandsford (talk) 12:07, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge content with Timeline of World War II (1939) (assuming that there is anything to merge) then delete. This is (as far as it has got) a duplicate of that one. We do not need both. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:59, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
