[edit] Merging to Emperor?
An editor who is on revert parole has tagged the article for a merger [1] and then, only for days later and without any support, has deleted the article by replacing it with a simple redirect [2]. No content of the article, which exists since 2002, had been saved/moved/merged to the proposed new article [3]. -- Matthead discuß! O 15:53, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- Attack on the arguments, not the person Matthead. The fact that I'm on revert parole for cleansing this wiki of german nationalists doesn't mean you can get away with anything here. On the contruary. Accusing me of some Anti German crusade didn't help you. Kaiser mean Emperor, and the emperor article already has information on both the Holy roman emperors as well as the German emperors. I tagged the article to be merged, and NO ONE OBJECTED (instead of no one agreed) what are your reasons for keeping this article as it is?.Rex 17:09, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

- Count the number of editors who have contributed to this article (as Kaiser) since 2002. You are pretty much alone here. Besides, bragging about "cleansing this wiki of german nationalists" does not help you either, but kudos for openly confirming my suspicion about your motivation. -- Matthead discuß!

No one objected, I am not alone. The number of editors to this article DO NOT MATTER. Again you bring no arguments just accusations. Give me reasons why this shouldn't redirect to Emperor.Rex 18:35, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

- Would you both stop being loud ? This article makes a lot of sense if only because of the use of the word to describe William II. In any case it seems thoroughly useless to delete it.CyrilleDunant 19:08, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

It is pointless that this article isn't a part of the Emperor-article. The trivial fact that William II was occasionally called Kaiser in English is no reason to keep this article here. Rex 11:06, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- In fact, all other wikies, even the German one, linking to this article link back to the emperor article.Rex 11:07, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
this is the article on the German title. we are not going to merge tsar to emperor or lugal and raja to king, are we? dab (𒁳) 16:39, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- Have it your way then. I'll rewrite the article accordingly.Rex 16:52, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 3 ways to go for this article.
Kaiser means emperor, and could redirect to emperor where sections concerning German emperors are already present and in to which this article could perfectly be merged. Then there's the redirect to wiktionary which would also be a possibility, but not my favorite. Then there's the third. An explanational article on the term "kaiser", but much shorter and more factual than the current one, like my version which was reverted by Cyrille Dunant. The latter has my preference.

[edit] Polish Kajzer
The word Kajzer in Polish refers not to the German Emperor but to the Austrian one (since Franz Joseph) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.2.99.84 (talk) 14:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC).
