Result: Kept Wrong venue to sort out edit warring. Instability is not a justification in itself to delist articles. AIRcorn (talk) 22:33, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There has been continual edit-warring between pro-Pakistan and pro-India editors following the recent 2019 India–Pakistan standoff. Editors are routinely blindly reverting to keep their preferred version, removing any edits that are made by anybody else. The edit warring has not been stopped by spells of semi-protection, it has just been continued by auto-confirmed editors. As this has continued for over two weeks now, it is clear that the article is not stable, thus failing criteria 5: "Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute." and criteria 4: "Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each." It should therefore be delisted.Nigel Ish (talk) 19:32, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I completely disagree. It should be reverted to the pre-disruption state (which Guy Macon has done several times). I have fully protected it for now. The various warring parties can then discuss it on the talk page. Once a consensus position is determined, the article can be unprotected and the edits made.

I concur with PM67; a delisting does seem to be premature for this situation. Applying criteria 5 in this way to justify a GAR seems unreasonable unless it is a particularly protracted situation that has not been able to be resolved through discussions on the talk page.

I agree with Zawed and PM67. This shouldn't be here. Sort it out on the talk page. Gog the Mild (talk) 00:49, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
