Abolitionism (animal rights)

Some of this seems selectively chosen; many of the sources that I can access do not use the term "abolitionism" to refer to this philosophy (or mention it at all). I think this would be best served as a redirect to the Animal rights movement article. QueenofBithynia (talk) 22:40, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep: This is one of the fundamental topics of the animal rights theory and I envisage this article being one of the vital articles on the subject; the "selectively chosen" part could be moderated by adding more citations from the vast literature available on this topic (will try doing this in the coming days). This is but the animal rights counterpart of the concept of abolitionism in human slavery, which underlines its importance in the movement. While the term is widely used in the works of scholars like Gary Francione, others such as Tom Regan, David Nibert, Oscar Horta, Steven M. Wise, and Gary Yourofsky subscribe to the same principle by expanding the term as "ending animal slavery," "abolishing human use of animals," "putting an end to animal exploitation," etc. Rasnaboy (talk) 07:39, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are hundreds of g-hits for the term "animal rights abolitionism", many of which are academic in nature. The article could benefit from improvement, but there's little indication it meets any deletion criteria. Risker (talk) 20:42, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep: Abolitionism is a very important concept in animal rights movement, and is definitely notable. If there are problems with source text integrity in the article, fix it—but deletion is not an alternative to clean-up. TryKid&thinsp;[dubious – discuss] 13:18, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep; I'm seeing plenty of academic sourcing, here's just a few examples, , . I'm not certain I see any argument for deletion; if there's some fuzziness in what the term refers to, that's something to include in the article. Vanamonde (Talk) 17:01, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
