The result was keep. Ok, the article never should have been created in the first place. I'll grant that. We don't want banned users circumventing their ban and forcing us to fix the same shoddy work that got them banned in the first place. However, it seems it is possible to fix this, and indeed significant progress has already been made in that department, and I believe I have a workaround for the other issue. I have revdeleted everything done by the banned user on the spirit of denying recognition to long-term abusers. Now that we don't have to worry about that, the keep argument makes the stronger case. Merging or moving the page to another title is a discussion that can and should be had on the article talk page. Beeblebrox ( talk) 18:32, 4 October 2011 (UTC) reply

User:NewPangea4. Even the framing of the article topic is POV: the placename chosen is inherently POV, and the incidents involved should be in some other article, reported in context of the military occupation, rather than as stand-alone "incidents". See
