[edit] History of Croatian Serbs

Rule from Starting new page: whether a separate page is justified; perhaps it is better to add the text to a related page (especially if the text is not very long); that page can always be split later, after it has grown. The history section from Serbs of Croatia isnt expanded enough already and this article is already made. Luka Jačov 23:49, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

  • HRE why dont u expand Serbs of Croatia instead. Luka Jačov 11:40, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Give him some time to finish-your application of the "starting a new page" rules seems a tad strict. Then if its not long enough merge it. Theres no sense merging the content now (including the histories) just so that the article can be recreated once the section becomes too long. Not that I'm knowledgable about the topic, but it seems like there is enoguh on the History of Croation Serbs to justify a new article.Savidan 01:53, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Give it a week. Daniel Quinlan 03:55, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, let it be expanded. --Terence Ong 04:03, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Although the page needs to be expanded and should have been split off only when there was enough content, the topic deserves its own page. The page will expand with time. btm _talk 05:13, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keephopefully it will expand but I have no qualms about a merge either.--MONGO 08:33, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and allow time to expand. If expansion does not happen or is not satisfactory the best course of action is to merge leaving a redirect. Movementarian (Talk) 10:56, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete he should expand the section of Serbs of Croatia first, if it gets too big, then a new separate article may be needed, a quite different situation than what we have now. --GTubio 12:13, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep and expand --M@thwiz2020 16:27, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect - it's easier to develop it in one article for now. --dcabrilo 19:20, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I don't see how such a bizarre article could have appeared in the first place ? It's based solely on Porphyrogenetus's fictions & other fable-like stuff that has been amply discussed & shown to be discredited elsewhere:De Administrando Imperio, Talk:History_of_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina, Talk:Travunia,..This is a piece of nutty Serbian propaganda (Đorđe Janković & other champs of bonkers archaelogy). But, I guess the page is going to stay. Which raises a few intriguing questions, particularly about bystanders's/outsiders's capability to evaluate the veracity or validity of obscure historical sources on equally obscure and muddled themes.
