Vientiane treaty

Delete.No objection to keeping the (sub?)stub. Hoax article, corollary of Eastern Pact. (There was a Vientiane treaty of 1973, but this wasn't it). Mark¹ 05:58, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. I can't speak English, but I believe you. --Asova 05:58, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
  • User's second edit. All edits have been trolling. RickK 06:15, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
  • I would vote to keep an article about the Vientiane Treaty of 1973 but not this article. I would like to rewrite this myself if I had the opportunity. Capitalistroadster 06:17, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Move to correctly capitalized entry, keep. — Phil Welch 09:50, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I stubified the content and moved it to Vientiane Treaty. Vientiane treaty is currently set to be a redirect as long as the VfD expires. — Phil Welch 09:56, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Why do you want to keep a hoax article? RickK 09:53, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
    • I deleted the hoax content because, as according to the original VfD listing you can plainly see above, "There was a Vientiane treaty of 1973, but this wasn't it". I stubified the content so it only has that information and moved it accordingly. — Phil Welch 09:56, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
      • Ah, okay, sorry. RickK 19:04, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
• The article History of Laos mentions a "Vientiane cease-fire agreement in 1973". I googled with the words Vientiane "cease-fire agreement" and found some more information. In this address Victor N. Xiong writes about the "cease-fire agreement between the two Lao factions ... signed ... in Vientiane on February 21, 1973." (It goes on.) It seems that this treaty wasn't very meaningful. This could be a section on the History of Laos page. That way it could still be linked to if ever needed. Redirect. Wipe 14:46, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. From my reading, this was a fairly significant treaty. Capitalistroadster 23:53, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
