Other editor edit conflict prevented production of normal tagging for AfD discussion. POV of this article is irreparably flawed. There is no improvement in article since closure of last AfD (talk page listed previous AfD as being in August, not 1 week ago). Simonm223 (talk) 16:06, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Oppose and dispute this AfD process. This nomination is against WP:BEFORE and I believe is an attempt to forum shop. It is against WP:BEFORE because the article is currently under a request for move, which should be closed by an admin any time now (7 days after original posting) - with 11 editors in favour of moving, and two against. (the nominator of this AfD "conditionally" for, although that may be a position borne out of sarcasm). It's forum shopping, as an RfC was called earlier today by one of the other opposed editors, with as yet no impact on the consensus, and not even that has been allowed to run its course. A lot of work has been done to get agreement on how to move forward, and the title change is the first step.VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 15:49, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

This article is nothing but a WP:SOAPBOX for anti-communist rhetoric, incorporating WP:EXTREMIST views. It should be Deleted and salted. Simonm223 (talk) 16:07, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
Comment I invite others to take a look at talk:Communist genocide#Requested move II and the discussion to re-write the article based on good RS, removing the contentious word genocide, and the ambiguous grammar of "communist". This discussion is based on how to avoid WP:SYNTH and WP:OR, and a consensus has emerged. (as for salting, another editor opposed to the article's existence/move has unilaterally salted the destination article title while discussion was ongoing.)VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 16:13, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
