Clear content fork by a user who is not getting his way at Germanic peoples. This is not how content disputes are settled. I have not been involved in that debate, but it is pretty clear that nobody is arguing for a distinct "modern" Germanic peoples. The dispute is over whether the Germanic peoples of antiquity can be said to still exist, in some sense, today. Srnec (talk) 15:27, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Per WP:DEL-REASON (5) a content fork should not be deleted if a merger is appropriate. WP:MERGEREASON (2, 3, 4) states that an article should be merged if there is a large overlap between them, if one of the articles is short, or if the short article is better understood within the context of the larger article. Germanic peoples (modern) is a short article better understood within the context of the article Germanic peoples, with whom it has a substantial overlap (see the sources used in this article).
As long as information on modern Germanic peoples is omitted from the article Germanic peoples, a separate article covering this topic is warranted. Modern Germanic peoples are just as notable as modern Slavic peoples of Turkic peoples. Krakkos (talk) 20:29, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
