So, after five AFDs, the horrible and infamous "Allegations of apartheid" has been deleted by Sarcasticidealist. His closure is rather long and can be seen here.

That's not the funny thing - though I'm glad. The funny thing is that no-one has contested this deletion yet. Normally, deletion sticks for only two or three hours.

While I realize that this is a likely candidate for WP:DRV, I hope that editors will instead work towards creating a more lasting consensus - there seemed to be some support on both side for examining the use of the word "apartheid" in different countries in a new section of [[Crime of apartheid]].

You know, after Israel finishes off that multi-layered fence system "barrier" that runs along the green line except where it deviates to chop Israeli settlements out of the West Bank, perhaps the Israeli West Bank barrier article can be folded into the Great Wall of China article. As they are both great walls, except in Israel, and both intended to keep the barbarians out, and now are used for tourism and fashion shows, except in the case of Israel. But not for apartheid, since nothing is being kept apart. In China. So, it could happen. biggrin.gif

Together with a debunking of the urban myth that the Great Wall can be seen from the Moon. And let's add Hadrian's Wall and the attempts being made along the US/Mexican border to keep out Mexicans.

Point taken. However, I'm hoping that the obligation to tie examples to the U.N.-defined "Crime of Apartheid" will keep things a little more, uh, concise than they were in the deleted article. That article included several forms of alleged apartheid having nothing to do with [[Crime of Apartheid]].

"POV pushers are embarrising themselves, or maybe Sarcasticidealist is just that good"

How on earth could anyone come to that conclusion? tongue.gif
