Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Collapse of Socialism
as personal essay and . Beyond the vague title and ambition of becoming an umbrella term for events that may or not be related at all, this article's useful content is already covered by Revolutions of 1989 (and should remain so). What remains is either a misnomer (some kind of socialism survives unabashed in plenty of countries, in most cases without ever having been dragged into the Eastern bloc thing, and even communism has a nominal presence in some countries) or a synthesis of material already covered to death by Post-communism, Lustration, Decommunization and about a billion other articles. And, incidentally, it matters naught that "the name is widely used", if the name is intended as a synonym for something we already cover - the idea behind wikipedia is not to have every conceivable word or phrase lead to a ''separate'' article, but to structure information into a coherent and intelligent whole
