Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Academic views on Falun Gong
This is an unusual situation, that a major contributor to an article nominates it for deletion, because the contributions have got out of hand. Strangely, I cannot trace back article creation, only to a 2006 revision http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Academic_views_on_Falun_Gong&oldid=51975641 - definitely the article has drawn considerable interest, and has been heavily edited, and it currently seems to have a number of quality academic RS. The question is then, if it is a  or if it merely is a legit article spinout.  I would be inclined to say a legit spinout.  As the article lede goes: "Falun Gong has received a range of scholarly attention — including ethnographic studies, analysis on the teleology of practice and also ...".  It is a problem that the article also seems to have been a battleground at times.  These problems are unlikely to go away with a merge though.  A merge is also unrealistic, given the size of main article Falun Gong currently is 62k.  The right course of action would be to fix the article, focus it, prune it, etc - but not delete it
