Why is this article not semi-protected? This article has a very low quality due to all the vandalism on this article. --1990'sguy (talk) 21:24, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
There is still a lot of unconstructive edits to the article, including one relatively recently that removed the notes that I added to keep editors from adding non-notable/inappropriate examples (which I had to add back more than a week and more than a dozen other edits later). Much more oversight of this article is needed. --1990'sguy (talk) 00:00, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
I'm not convinced proposals that were made 5 years ago should be put in the historical section. When a proposal is made seriously by some countries' governments, we should give them a longer period before labeling the proposal as "historical". As such, I'd include both Cyprus (who's had talks as late as 2015) and Romania-Moldova (whose last president supported unification as late as 2013). As I said before, there probably won't be constant news about state mergers. But once a proposal has really become fringe, then I agree it should be placed in the historical section. For Cyprus specifically, Mentatus is right that the page should not link to the Annan plan. Instead, I'd favour linking to Cyprus dispute and displaying a flag placeholder.

I think we all agree that we need some criteria for which proposals to include and which to keep out. In invisible notes at the top of the "Current" section, I wrote that only serious and sourced proposals can be added, but that obviously is not enough. I suggest adding a section at or near the top that is dedicated to explaining the criteria for inclusion for this article. Here (in bullet points) is what I suggest we include in our "official" criteria:
Is there anything that I missed? Any other suggestions? --1990'sguy (talk) 02:07, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
