Proposed deletion of Roman Defensive Walls

The article Roman Defensive Walls has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Content forks of two existing articles - no need to have this when you have detailed Hadrian's Wall and Servian Wall articles.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Moved article to userspace

Hi! I'm the content expert for your class and I received a notification that your article was up for deletion. I moved the article back to your sandbox since the article doesn't appear to be ready.

The deletion rationale is that the article recreated existing content that was already present in two articles, Hadrian's Wall and Servian Wall. I have to agree with this, as the article only contained basic detail about each wall, serving more of a disambiguation page purpose. (Disambiguation pages are entries where they list multiple articles that either have the same title or fall within the same category. Normally it's for articles that share the same title, such as Rose (disambiguation).) When we only have two pages we typically just mention the other page somewhere in the article, either as a note at the top of the article (in the case of two articles about something that shares the same name) or in the "see also" section at the bottom of the article. It is possible to have an article that collects articles that discuss the same thing, but those usually have a big lead paragraph to explain the page.

It looks like there's an article on the topic of Roman defensive walls at Ancient Roman defensive walls, so you may want to see if you can help flesh out that article. It also looks like Hadrian's Wall has several areas that need to be sourced with reliable sources such as books and academic journals, so you may want to look into doing that. Newspapers are fine as well, of course. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 07:33, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
