Unnecessary article with little substantial information. Nothing that can't be added to the Uzbekistan section of the Observance of Christmas by country article. ~ Mooonswimmer 23:58, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't care either way. By the same logic, another article I created, namely Navruz in Uzbekistan should also be deleted. But the fact that an article is a stub isn't grounds for deletion. The topic is notable and the content is long enough to warrant a stand alone article. I'm rather busy these days, but the article could cover Christmas celebrations in Uzbek SSR and post-soviet Uzbekistan. There's a wealth of information on the topic in Russian and Uzbek.

Perhaps I should've worded my rationale better. I commend your work on Uzbekistan-related articles and appreciate what you do. It's never fun nominating articles that someone obviously invested their time into for deletion.

What is the logic you are referring to? I didn't really mention anything about the article being a stub. There is quite a difference between Navruz in Uzbekistan, which contains a considerable amount of information pertinent to Nawruz in Uzbekistan/post-soviet Central Asia (which is often cited as the most popular holiday in the region), and Christmas in Uzbekistan, where the entirety of the article can be summed up into three or four sentences, since Christmas in the country simply isn't widely celebrated (due to the demographic and historical reasons mentioned in the article). ~ Mooonswimmer 04:08, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I've merged the entry into the main article and created a redirect. Canada doesn't seem to have its own article on Christmas celebrations there, so we can forget about Muslim Uzbekistan. Nataev ^talk 09:27, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Observance of Christmas by country. Article doesn't look like it can be expanded upon too much, but the content shouldn't be deleted. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 04:38, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge is fine for me (the page author merged it himself before the end of discussion). --Suitskvarts (talk) 15:28, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• What is this doing at AfD, which stands for "articles for deletion", not "articles for merging"? The creator was happy to merge it and the nominator wanted it merged rather than deleted. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:02, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Article's content has since been merged; changing my vote to make this page a Redirect to the appropriate section on Observance of Christmas by country. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 21:10, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Observance of Christmas by country#Uzbekistan per WP:ATD.4meter4 (talk) 17:23, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
