Request for Comment on List of all war outbreaks during World War II Does the article serve a discernible purpose     This article was proposed for deletion for being too similar to Declarations of War during World War II The deletion was removed by the articles creator who then tagged Declarations of War during World War II for deletion instead This article is a WPCONTENTFORK containing information largely available elsewhere especially at the Outline of World War IITimeline of World War II articles Quality issues aside is this page redundant or does it serve a discernible purpose for which the subject needs an article     Survey Proposal This article is redundant any useful aspects of this article should be merged with preexisting articles and this page should be nominated for deletion   Support Wikipedia policy is to improve preexisting articles rather than create new ones The information here not available elsewhere seems limited at best and could be easily included in more concise articles Even if the article was further developed and copyedited I do not see the advantage to having a noncomprehensive list of individual attacks that lead to or follow from a declaration of war    Support  pointless and gratuitous content fork     Delete article that is Support merging  Does not serve an obvious independent purpose      Im leaning merge as well but the best article to merge to might be List of military engagements of World War II    Keep or merge But Ive already attempted merging with Declarations of War during World War II but it was fruitless Dates from which a state of war between nations emerges are importaint To rule out the Soviet Union attacks on Poland and Finland   aswell as the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbour cannot be reguarded as NPOV Content may be found in the Timeline but there is an excess of information for readers that are looking for daysdates when a war began Hence the need    After the mayor improvements of Declarations of War during World War II I have now changed my mind Here I just want to add that when I first attempted to improve that list encuggaged by user N everything soon was reverted But I do agree that as of now List of all war outbreaks during World War II do no longer serve any purpose that cannot just as easy can be found at previously mentioned list and hence the list should be erased      Merge  As a content fork Declarations of War during World War II and List of military engagements of World War II are both good suggestions    Support  useless content fork     Threaded discussion Additional discussion on this takes place between the creator and other editors at TalkDeclarations of War during World War II I have also spoke with the creator personally at length the discussion can be found here  Thank you    Can there be a better explanation as to what this article is trying to cover    Orlando Do You really suggest that the article is attempting to cover anything  What if that is the case  Or which list do You reffer to     The list at this article  Im failing to understand exactly where the focus is  War outbreaks in particular is rather broad and nonspecific     Consensus Its clearly snowing Ive taken the article to AfD
