Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison between Roman and Han Empires (2nd nomination)
This is definitely a legitimate encyclopedic topic, and has the potential to be (even acknowledged by the nominator) but not in its current state. That being said, all of the problems (e.g. , ) are capable of being fixed by simple editing. If that means that most of this article is cut down, so be it, but the topic itself is |notable. Gun Powder Ma's repeated attempts to "preserve" the article are also disturbing. The optimal purpose of AfD is not deletion, but transforming the articles under discussion into a viable article. I see no reason why the creator, Teeninvestor, should be stopped from doing so
