This Article Conforms to Wikipedia Guidelines
A previous version of this article was deleted on the grounds that it constituted original research. Consequently, care has been taken to ensure this new version of the article conforms to each of the three "content-guiding" criteria of Wikipedia articles:

WP:VERIFY Use only verifiable sources

The Relationship rules article meets the criterion of verifiability.
 * All major ideas in the article are cited.
 * Every rule listed in the article comes directly from a cited source.
 * The large majority of citations in the article are either articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals or chapters in books written and edited by Ph.D.'s with expertise in the field. Wikipedia explicitly recognizes these as verifiable sources.
 * All but four of the remaining citations come from books published with editorial oversight. Wikipedia usually recognizes these as verifiable sources.
 * The four citations that refer to Web pages are simply examples readers could use to see the topic of Ground Rules can be found on the Internet. Web pages are not verifiable sources. However, these four citations are not used to verify any specific relationship rules or any major ideas about relationship rules.

WP:NOR No original research

The Relationship rules article meets the criterion of no original research.
 * All major ideas in the article are cited, demonstrating they have been published.
 * Every rule listed in the article comes directly from a cited source, demonstrating they have been published.
 * All of the main ideas, and all of the specific rules listed, reflect the ideas and rules as presented by their original authors. That is, none of the major ideas and listed rules in this article represent a new analysis or synthesis of the cited articles and chapters. This article simply reviews the content of the cited articles and chapters.

WP:NPOV Neutral point of view

The Relationship rules article is written in a neutral point of view.
 * There is very little theoretical conflict in verifiable sources about relationship rules. Readers are free to disagree with the published literature. However, mere opinion is not verifiable and constitutes original research. Editors must supply citations to published and verifiable sources to demonstrate that major conflicts exist in the theory of relationship rules.
 * Different publications can differ in the specific relationship rules offered. When this happens, multiple sources are cited. Examples include multiple sources for rules of marriage and multiple sources for rules of fair fighting. It is also noted that still other rules may b offered by other authors.

Finally, the topic covered in this article is mentioned in four other Wikipedia articles. The Polyamory, Swinging, Open marriage, and Jealousy coping articles refer to ground rules, which are discussed in this article. These mentions show the topic is of encyclopedic interest. Second, the Relationship rules articles is approximately 31 kilobytes in length, the maximum desired length for Wikipedia articles. This is clearly a full scale article and not merely a stub or a definition.


 * I don't think it's notable though... - SpLoT 03:20, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


 * The topic is mentioned in 4 other Wikipedia articles. It provides a substantial amount of new information not presented in any of the other Wikipedia articles that mention the topic. That makes it worthwhile. Notability is not one of the three main "content-guiding" criteria, anyway, precisely because it's pretty much opinion. Personal opinion about notability should not be suffucient to delete, especially when the topic is mentioned in multiple Wikipedia articles and when the article meets the three content-guiding criteria.
