To be frank, this might be the single worst article I've ever read on Wikipedia. The bulk of it was written over 15 years ago and hasn't changed much since. It is a mess of unsourced assertions, POV and synthesis. No effort has been made to actually improve this article; stuff has only been cut out or tagged, and the talk page has been inactive since 2010. The subject matter is also covered much better, in a more well-researched and neutral manner on the article about anti-German sentiment. I cannot see any reason not to delete this article.

• Merge with Anti-German sentiment as per suggestion above. Cortador (talk) 13:42, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Anti-German sentiment; there isn't much substance here to merge. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:26, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge, or probably better to redirect directly, to the "Anti-German sentiment" article. Article doesn't seem to have much worth keeping to be honest. Oaktree b (talk) 15:09, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge with Anti-German sentiment per above discussion. We don't need 2 articles on the same topic and this is the weaker of the 2.

• Merge with Anti-German sentiment, keeping whatever is worthwile.--Srleffler (talk) 18:17, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with Anti-German sentiment, rather than merely redirect. That article is a much more substantial one on much the same subject, but this one has a little additional material. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:46, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge (selectively) as above. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:03, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
