The result was merge to Rise of the Ottoman Empire. Time for a bold merge as suggested. Books is good RS (non-admin closure) (talk→ Bwilkins / BMW ←track) 14:08, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The article basically goes over the more trivial aspects of Sultan Osman I, which can all be covered in his own article. Additionally, the title is written in improper grammar - it should read Foundation of the Ottoman Empire, however the page with that title actually redirects to this article. I am not suggesting that they be deleted - I actually want both Foundation of Ottoman Empire and Foundation of the Ottoman Empire to be redirected to Rise of the Ottoman Empire, which is the page that provides the information that people are likely looking for when they want to read about the empire's foundation. I tried to notify editors at WT:TURKEY and the article's talk page prior to considering AfD, but there are very few people who are keeping an eye on either of those pages, plus the consensus could potentially be too biased.
