Adoption parenting

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article has multiple problems, including being unreferenced and non-encyclopedic. Crucially, there is a section in the existing article Adoption that covers the broad area of this article, and does so with references. hamiltonstone (talk) 06:46, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into Adoption - although a lot of material needs to be cut, it reads like a self-help book. &mdash; QuantumEleven 14:52, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hold for 12h. This is part of an educational assignment and the student has about 12h to improve it. I'd suggest restarting the discussion after the grading deadline. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 16:34, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I have no issues with that - in any case, the AfD discussion would normally run for 7 days. regards. hamiltonstone (talk) 23:22, 30 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Wikipedia is not a webspace provider for school assignments. There's no such thing as "adoption parenting" incidentally, it's called "adoptive parenting."  Student and teacher get Fs! Шизомби (talk) 02:09, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Take it up with WP:SUP. And the term is notable: . That said, the assignment deadline has passed, and the article has not been significantly improved, although addition of some inline references make me think that some content is salvageable and thus merge. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 18:16, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Adoption. The content of the article is, frankly, worthless: a US-centric how-to guide full of semi-informed opinion that's presented as authoritative fact.  I dread to think that some inexperienced adopter might implement this.  It's frankly dangerous and needs to be killed with fire.  But "Adoption parenting" is a plausible search term, so this should not be a redlink.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  11:00, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
