- Comment: Is it better summarizing of history section in the article Black sea plus expanding related history article that counts or otherwise?
- On side note a) I do not get surprised at such deletion nominations but in general in same amount of time and energy can't Wikipedians expand related topics more?
- On side note b) I am surprised at lower interest in Black sea related topic expansion among European Wikipedians
- I have nothing more to discuss and add I am bowing out of the discussion leaving fate to other users. Pl. do not ping me for this discussion. Thanks Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' ( talk) 03:22, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
- Keep, this topic meets WP:GNG ( [1] [2]). VR talk 05:16, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
- Weak keep, I have read the original discussion regarding the split back in March and I can understand some logic behind why it was proposed. I think there is scope for expanding this and its history is a notable topic in its own right. The parent article could maybe be trimmed a little more in this sub-section, but i'd probably favour expanding this as an independent article, than shifting it all back to the primary topic.

- Redirect Obviously this meets GNG, but that's not the question here, and per WP:NOPAGE we do not need a separate page now. This is currently a WP:REDUNDANT WP:DUPLICATE of Black_Sea#Historical_names_and_etymology and Black_Sea#Recorded_history and there's not much to "shift back". While expansion as an independent article may work well, at this point it can be done in the main article, and then split when it's too long (it isn't yet). Copy-paste duplication of content is discouraged, and WP:SUMMARYSTYLE should be used, not merely trimming of details in the parent article. Reywas92 Talk 15:36, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
