[edit] Proposed Deletion

Kingdom of Laos was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was REDIRECT

Cut & pasted from [1] which is copyrighted even this is a site of Library of US Congress, as mentioned in bottom of this page. --Ramendra 19:10, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC) (bit modified)

Comment, This does not need to be here, copyvio is the correct process. -Vina 20:35, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Note, I moved the discussion from the main VfD page to here. -Vina 20:39, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Countrystudies.us can't revert or annull the public domain status of the text; their copyright can only extend to their own stuff (i.e., the text around the edges of the country studies they obtained from the Library of Congress). I'll restore the article. I would also put this note on the copyvio page, but there doesn't appear to be an item there for Kingdom of Laos. Wile E. Heresiarch 01:04, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- D We already have Laos and History of Laos. Chris 02:41, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Redirect to Laos. The full/proper names of countries, and their historical forms, should probably be made into redirects to the country article. --Improv 17:19, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Redirect to Laos or History of Laos, but merge any parts that are not yet in the redirected-to article. Wile E. Heresiarch 20:39, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Redirect. —siro χ o 23:54, Oct 27, 2004 (UTC)

This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like other '/delete' pages is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion or on the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.

[edit] Contradiction

The first and second sentence are in apparent contradiction: the Kingdom of Laos was sovereign from 1947 to 1975. yet in 1953 a treaty established a sovereign Laos. Please resolve this. Also, there is only one reference. Two would be better; and more, better still. Rintrah 15:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

The Political scene in Laos wasn't like Vietnam at the time, there wasn't a north or south, it was a big mess.

[edit] Should Stay

The Empire of Brazil has an article seperate from Brazil, why should the Kingdom of Laos be deleted?
