| *'''Keep'''. On occasion, lists really are encyclopedic. This is one of those lists.

I don't see how this can be an article on Misplaced Pages. Its unstable and will NEVER be a stable article. Everything added to this article will eventually get removed. This is really just Current events. Im not sure but I believe everything on Misplaced Pages has to be in past tense, since its presenting things as history. This is suitable for Wikinews, but not as a article in a encyclopedia. Again theres no way this will ever be stable. Theres List of wars which does it the correct way.

- Keep, seems to be WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Saying an article is unstable because it documents something that changes would invalided every biography of any living person, for starters. This is not a portal, it is a list that complies with WP:CLS in that it presents more information than a category could. This is also not news, as it does not document brief events of limited importance, but points to fully encyclopedic articles that are and will continue to be updated. Finally, it is a subarticle linked to by List of wars. I don't see a real rationale for deletion under any guideline here. --Dhartung | Talk 06:31, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- Strong keep there are quite a few pages linking to this article. The article contains references and is an informative encyclopaedic article. I also think Dhartung is very right about this being an unfair nomination (WP:IDONTLIKEIT) ——Ryan | t • c 07:33, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
