Page rename[edit]

In line with other articles, I suggest this article is renamed to History of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1992-1999) or History of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1992-2000) or even History of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1992-2002), depending on how far we want to take it. The current title does not sound very neutral. Regards, Asterion^talk 09:21, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Milošević era, and the Kosovo War → History of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia — In line with standard practice (ie History of + country) and to avoid the use of potentially POV wording "Milošević era". — Asterion^talk 11:57, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. That's basically what it is. See my comment below. Balkan Fever^{not a fan? say so!} 10:26, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

Any additional comments:

This article shouldn't really exist. Looking at Asterion's proposed titles, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) only existed from 1992-2003, we can't stretch it further. There's no need for a "history of..." article like other countries, because the FRY itself (and therefore its history) falls into the History of Serbia (and the History of Montenegro, and the History of Kosovo). Also, the FRY article is shorter than an average country article, so all of this information can go there, if it isn't already. Therefore, this article should be merged to one of the articles I mentioned, probably Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Balkan Fever^{not a fan? say so!} 10:25, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I agree. The content is pretty much a fork. I was hoping it could be expanded but, as you said, most info is already at the FRY article. Regards, Asterion^talk 18:46, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
