Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Republic of Crimea
Wikipedia is not perfect. I forked certain sections so that we could start polishing this article and give it its own identity. Whether content forking should be done or not is subjective: we don't have a rule against it, merely a guideline. This guideline, , says at the very top: "this guideline should be best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply." This is one of those cases where common sense tells us to fork it as the Republic shares many of its information with the "former" Autonomous Republic. I didn't fork the history section. But I did fork the geography because the geography is virtually the same for both regions. The other forked sections are similar. , one of our most sacred policies, states very clearly and explicitly that "|Wikipedia is a work in progress: perfection is not required". This article is a work in progress, whose content was forked from Autonomous Republic of Crimea to make it easier to develop it. If the community's concern is that attribution has not been properly given then I encourage the community to use {{tl2|copied-multi}} to provide attribution. Or we can simply delete the fork from the article's history log and return it back to how it was before the fork. Hope this clears everything up. &mdash
