The result was keep. I'll also note that "deletion and content transfer" is not often done due to legal attribution issues. (non-admin closure) Alpha3031 (t • c) 05:01, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple issues; committed changes from first AfD request unresolved and I see no way to view this article in a way that could be improved in the future. Recommend deletion and content transfer to other, more notable/well sourced topics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ClaudeDavid (talk • contribs) 11:29, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2020 May 20. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 06:15, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep -- Yes, it has issues; it is not a good article, but suggesting deletion is mere destruction. The complaint of the lack of in-line citations is overstated as there are a lot. "Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it": probably not quite an accurate quote, but certainly relevant. This is a topic in historiography that would need an expert on the topic to turn it into a good article, but what we have is better than nothing, which is what nom proposed.

• Keep AfD is not cleanup. The articles topic is notable, just needs some work. The previous AfD was closed as 'keep' and I don't see any unresolved issues making deletion needed. The article could certainly be cleaned up. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 17:21, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
