Federal Republic of Germany[edit]

This is intended to be a fork of Germany by a user who refuses to work with other editors on the article (explaining its current protected status). User intends for this to be his/her own private article as illuminated by their description of it:

I've started a new page on my own at Federal Republic of Germany. The title was still free. The links on Wikipedia can stay as they are - there is no need to redirect anything, because the Germany page will still remain the "official" article. The "FRG" will be the "unofficial" version and will be under my charge.

Therefore, I believe it ought to be deleted as a fork and a redirect put in it's place (to ensure no future reemergence of deleted contents). Cool Hand Luke 12:09, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Redirect Was a (long-standing) redirect a little while ago, should return to being one. (Though not especially opposed to deletion and recreation as same.) Alai 12:10, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Delete and redirect. Five day lag time is enough for the user to copy his POV-fork off-site. jni 12:54, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
At the moment (13:41 UTC, 7 Mar 2005) it's a redirect to Germany, which is clearly what it should be. --Angr 13:46, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Re-redirect - as above. -- Cyrius|✎ 18:45, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
