The result of the move request was: Speedy moved as uncontroversial. I also lowercased "resolution" because it is not a proper noun when used in plural. No such user (talk) 11:49, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot see any reason not to merge. The US specific article seems to be the only one focusing on a single country (possible WP:POVFORM) and it is just a list that is completely handled by this article. Ravensfire (talk) 18:39, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What parts of the other article should be merged into this one? I am concerned that the other article does not add any new information. Also the fact that no other country specific articles exist is not a good argument, as those could always be created in the future if it is deemed useful.

There is at least one good reason, that List of vetos exercised by the US government in the UN Security Council contains information about majorities (which happens to be what I was looking for today after [1]). I agree those could be merged in the main table here, but until that's done there is no reason to merge. Nemo 07:55, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: NOT MOVED The nom appears a bit nonsensical to me. (non-admin closure) Galobtter (pingó mió) 05:31, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
List of vetoed United Nations Security Council resolutions → [[:]] – This article is partial only to cite 100% all Russian and Chinese vetoes, with most of the vetoes appearing in this article being from Russia voting alone or with China, so it would be appropriate to reform the article for the new title or divide It. 2804:14C:5BB5:8FFF:690D:B0E8:B81:CB55 (talk) 13:06, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose why should russia have their own list when there aren't that many total vetoes to begin with עם ישראל חי (talk) 15:15, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
there are 5 countries with vetoes they are all listed whats there to change ? עם ישראל חי (talk) 16:44, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This article displays more vetoes by the USSR/Russia simply because there have been more vetoes by the USSR/Russia. There should probably be an article solely about Soviet/Russian vetoes, but this article should remain as the list of all vetoed resolutions.--Aervanath (talk) 20:40, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dag Hammarskjöld excludes document A/58/47, Annex III Part II Part II "Paragraphs of draft resolutions or amendments thereto not adopted owing to the negative vote of a permanent member"
document A/58/47, Annex III Part I appears to be incomplete.
Part I excludes some votes on S/133, nine applications for membership considered in Aug 1946 at meetings 54 (28 Aug am)55 (28 Aug pm)56 (29 Aug am) and 57 (29 Aug pm). Siam paused its application (PV.54 p41). The initial resolution to accept the remaining eight en bloc (PV.54 pp42–3 and PV.57 pp114–6) was replaced with separate votes on each (PV.57 p124). First was raised a motion (PV.57 p116) on whether to postpone the vote on Albania and Mongolia; followed by a vote on whether that motion was "procedure" as opposed to "substance", which lost on the Soviet veto (PV.57 p132). Then the vote on the postpone motion was also lost on the Soviet veto (PV.57 pp135–6). Then the individual motions on the eight remaining candidates (PV.57 pp138–140):
Afghanistan, Iceland, and Sweden were accepted
Transjordan, Ireland, Portugal are listed as Soviet vetos
Two lost on a UK+US veto are not listed (in document A/58/47, Annex III Part I or Dag Hammarskjöld or Wikipedia):
Albania
In favour: Brazil, France, Mexico, Poland, Soviet Union
Against: Netherlands, United Kingdom, United States of America
Abstentions: Australia, China, Egypt
Mongolia
In favour: Brazil, China, France, Mexico, Poland, Soviet Union
Against: Netherlands, United Kingdom, United States of America
Abstentions: Egypt, Australia
In the above I have bolded three instances where the veto was used.
I suppose the first two are not listed in our table because the vetoed motions were not "resolutions", though I'm not sure what the difference is between a "resolution" and a "motion of substance" (which the postpone motion was, according to the other motion).
Much more serious is the final case: there seems no good reason why the UK+US veto of Albania and Mongolia is left out whereas those of Transjordan, Ireland, and Portugal are included. Possible differences:
For some purposes a minimum of seven members voting in favour was required; did that apply in these cases? Contra which, the chairman said "The motion is not carried since there are two permanent members among those who have voted against."
Or maybe the fact that the Netherlands was also voting against? Which ought not to matter, since the total yes exceeded the toal no
Or maybe whoever compiled document A/58/47, Annex III just made a boo-boo
@Jnestorius: I think the issue stems from one of your initial criteria being wrong. I didn't realise this myself, but the UNSC resolutions are not adopted by a simple majority but rather need 9 out of 15 affirmative votes (7 out of 11 before the expansion) (note this means abstention by a regular member is essentially the same as a negative vote). This means the resolutions to admit Albania and Mongolia failed without the need of the veto, and so are not included. I think this also applies to the two other issues you pointed out.

Don't separate resolutions that were held on the same day and served a similar purpose[edit]
Many of the "Application for Membership" resolutions held on the same day and had the same meeting record were separated into different entries on the list. Clutter should be reduced on an encyclopedia like Wikipedia. If one wants to see a complete list of all the vetoed resolutions, they could just visit the UN page at https://research.un.org/en/docs/sc/quick (which much of this page seems to be copied from).
