* '''Keep'''. The article looks informative to me. The fact that it is imperfect is no reason to delete it. Improvements are needed, but that is the case with 99% (or actually 100%) of all articles on Wikipedia.--[[User:Mlewan|Mlewan]] ([[User talk:Mlewan|talk]]) 23:56, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
::My improvement to it would be to delete the unnecessary columns, and rearrange in the order given in the Unicode Standard, the end result of which would be rather similar to the [[Unicode block]] article. If there did not already exist a better replacement for this article I would agree that it is better to improve than delete, but there is already a better, more informative article which is based on reliable sources (did I forget to mention that [[Summary of Unicode character assignments]] is unsourced?). [[User:BabelStone|BabelStone]] ([[User talk:BabelStone|talk]]) 00:14, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
:::"Unsourced" is no reason for deletion. If something is wrong and unsourced it should obviously be deleted, but if we were to remove every fact in Wikipedia that did not have a carefully verified reliable source, then the whole project would shrink to absolute uselessness.
:::The article [[Unicode block]] is something I had to look at twice, before I even realised that one can expand the section to get any useful info at all, so there is a usability problem there. Nevertheless, it is true that the two articles heavily overlap, so I change my "vote" to '''Merge''' and improve [[Unicode block]]. --[[User:Mlewan|Mlewan]] ([[User talk:Mlewan|talk]]) 07:09, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
* '''Delete''' and re-direct page title to the section on allocation in the [[Unicode block]] article, per BabelStone. -- [[User:Evertype|Evertype]]·[[User_talk:Evertype|✆]] 00:01, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' - the last thing we need is an out-of-date [[WP:CFORK]] of something that already exists ([[Unicode block]]). -- [[Special:Contributions/202.124.73.139|202.124.73.139]] ([[User talk:202.124.73.139|talk]]) 06:06, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
*'''Redirect to [[Unicode block]]''' Per nom. —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 10:19, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. The current version (Unicode 5.0) was also the first version in the article, so it has never been updated. The tables can only be maintained automated (but there is no bot for this), which cuts me out of improvements. This situation is making the "to be edited for improvements is no deletion argument" unconvincing: here it is. Some column definitions are OR (e.g. Excl/Incl). And: what does the information really add to the encyclopedia? Apart from some legend entries, the page does not give much or easy insight nor oversight of the allocation issues. -[[User:DePiep|DePiep]] ([[User talk:DePiep|talk]]) 11:28, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

*'''Delete.''' I defer to the experienced editors' assessment that this is redundant and outdated.

*'''Delete:''' The arguments of the experienced Delete proponents is persuasive. There are in fact ''no'' remaining Keep proponents, and I wonder why this was ever relisted. [[User:Ravenswing|'''<span style="background:Blue;color:Cyan"> Ravenswing </span>''']] 09:43, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
::re: When it was relisted, Carrite had not struck their Keep yet. Also, the creator was notified a bit late. For me, another week is no problem, though I recall that a earlier closing is possible. -[[User:DePiep|DePiep]] ([[User talk:DePiep|talk]]) 10:04, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
*'''Comment''' I see no case being made here that there is something offensive in the work in this edit history such that these edits need to be hidden from everyone but the admins, I suggest finding a solution that does not use admin tools.
