Nauru | Result: Keep[edit]
Delete[edit]
- An unsourced stub for it's entire 9 year history. Also, it is likely not missional. Given how it's the 2nd smallest country in population, I don't see how it could advance the RW mission. That's why, IMO, the "improve over delete" doesn't apply. Now, why is a merge undesirable? Because there isn't really a good place to merge it into. That is why I think the article needs deletion.

Keep[edit]
- Should be improved, but the sheer financial incompetence that lead Nauru to go from one of the richest countries to one of the poorest countries, as well as colonial and environmental concerns, keeps it missional. Plutocow (talk) 02:56, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
- We need to get past the point of "improve over delete", and then no one deletes. If you think it should be kept, maybe you should put the work into improving the article. I still have Tim Eyman and it's struggling. Andrew5 (talk) 13:33, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
- Per Andrew5, I think that this article could go more in-depth into the history of this nation; that is, if someone does the work.Jake Holmesyell at me 18:14, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

- Technically it's still a country. Not every stub is bad. -- Techpriest (talk) 22:04, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
Merge/redirect[edit]
Goat[edit]
- Thought over it some more. I think it could potentially have a small merge with Global warming, given how it is likely to be affected by it. It could possibly be on mission, but it needs so much expansion it likely wouldn't be improved. With that being said, I am not opposed to a move to draftspace for improvement. Funspace, I'm iffy on. Those of you who think countries can't be deleted, please see Talk:Sao Tome & Principe, RationalWiki:Articles for deletion/Morocco and RationalWiki:Articles for deletion/Guyana.

- I mean, besides being a stub, it's really not that bad of an article. It goes over the missional aspects, with the one problem being that it doesn't go into detail. It's a good opening paragraph, at least. Maybe I could improve it when I have the time/motivation, as I did with Guam, Kiribati, Timor-Leste, etc. Plutocow (talk) 18:57, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
