Similar to the Northwestern European people and Eastern European people articles that have also been deleted, this similarly written article has the same problems. Lots of WP:REFBOMBED issues where the article just references random articles with the phrase "Eastern European" in it. Also WP:SYNTH. (This is almost verbatim the rationale of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eastern European people, and it also applies here). NLeeuw (talk) 05:47, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Courtesy ping @SunDawn, Hemiauchenia, Mzajac, and Bearian: for your consideration because you participated in the 2021 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eastern European people written by the same user. This AfD is a follow-up. NLeeuw (talk) 07:03, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I'm not seeing evidence that "Eastern European Identity" exists as a coherent topic that an article could be written about. As the nom says, this appears to be refbombed with used of similar phrasing , but doesn't really demonstrate that this concept exists. Hemiauchenia (talk) 12:19, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:SYNTH and WP:OR. This is essentially a review synthesizing material and citations, bordering on original research. Sometimes we ignore the rules and let such articles slide - I've been guilty of that - but based on past outcomes, I'm going for deletion. This compares unfavorably to such topics as Pan-Slavism, which is a thing and could be a good article. I would not oppose a redirect to an appropriate target.
