Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kingdom of Vietnam
This article is a PoV fork of Nguyễn Dynasty. The content on the historical Vietnamese states on Wikipedia is chronologically organized as follows: '''(1)''' Đại Việt (968–1407; 1428–1804) -> '''(2)''' Nguyễn Dynasty (1802–1883/1884) -> '''(3)''' French Cochinchina (1862...), Annam (French protectorate) (1883...), Tonkin (French protectorate) (1883...). The problem has arisen due to the second article's subject on a first glance appearing not as a historical state, but as a dynasty, which is slightly unconventional. The editor who created the here nominated article, did so construing the "dynasty article" as just being about the members of dynasty, when it is not, ''the subject of (2) is really and primarily the historic state, and the article named by the dynasty''. Like {{noping|Srnec}} said: {{tq|This is definitely a distinct period in Vietnamese history}} -- yes, and this covered in (2). That is the longstanding article on said period, specifically. {{pb}}This means that keeping is eliminated as an option. Whatever the outcome of this discussion is, it can't be 'keep' because this is at best a duplicate article, which was correctly identified by {{u|Mccapra}} when he https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kingdom_of_Vietnam&type=revision&diff=1025112763&oldid=1025101245 redirected the {{tq|article as content is duplicated in target article /Nguyễn Dynasty/}}. At worst this article is a . Based on the arguments and the evidence provided by the nominator and {{noping|Donald Trung}}, I conclude that the article is indeed a PoV fork, and as any PoV fork, it can be safely deleted (or redirected). However since the article contains some good parts, which would fit in the Nguyễn Dynasty article, it should be merged
