Adoption in vietnam war

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Reads like a student essay (e.g., "They argue that narratives of U.S. benevolence, White families as saving Asian children from poverty, ignorance, and disease, and color-blind assimilation can overwhelm adoptee accounts (Choy & Choy, 2003)"). Article is mostly WP:OR and personal opinion. Completely US focused as well. Topic could deserve its own article, but current thing is a mess. Recommend WP:NUKEANDPAVE.

 * Delete. Ouch, what a mess. At best, userfy if the author wants to keep working on it, but while the topic may be notable, the current tone, lack of context, and numerous manual of style errors make it not ready for article namespace. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 10:43, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - per above, not much more to add. Userfying is also ok if author wishes so.--Staberinde (talk) 17:28, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Userfy - doesn't seem to be a translation of any vi.wp article. Operation Babylift covers same but narrower area. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:25, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Userfy if the original author responds. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 03:55, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Userfy not close to an acceptable article as it is. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 05:45, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete and Userfy. This MIGHT be an encyclopedic topic that will meet notability guidelines. This is currently an original essay and a bit of a mess. I think the general idea of getting it out of mainspace until it can stand on its own is a good one... Carrite (talk) 16:32, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
