Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Age of consent in North America

The result of the debate was speedy keep. An incorrect name is not a valid reason to nominate an article for deletion anyway; WP:RM is the proper forum for that. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 19:23, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Age of consent in North America
The name is factually incorrect, the article violates WP:NOR, as it is not verified. Delete  Ardenn  16:09, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep since nominator's reasoning does not seem correct: just about everything links to outside verification (gov websites, law website, etc). If anything, this is far better, verification-wise, than probably 99% of Wikipedia articles. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:22, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * speedy keep, plenty of verification. Needs some input (more states, countries) but it's a great start. &mdash; AKADriver  &#x260E;  16:25, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems OK for a start. Verification is at least as good as most articles in Wikipedia. This AfD seems to be the result of an edit war over the title.  Work it out! Ted 16:48, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Nominator has been in an edit war trying to speedy it out of process, and move it around. Bad faith nomination? I'd close it as a speedy keep, but I'm involved in the dispute so I'd rather not. Luigi30 (&Tau;&alpha;&lambda;&kappa; &tau;&omicron; m&epsilon;) 18:00, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep – yep, bad faith nomination – Gurch 18:38, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep AfD is not the way to address edit wars -- Samir [[Image:Canadian maple leaf 2.jpg|20px]] (the scope) धर्म 19:04, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and Rename. Ardenn is right on the article's talk page when he states that it's a misleading name (in the US alone, there are differing ages of consent for sex, marriage and contractual arrangements), but the list itself is eminently verifiable.  RGTraynor 19:19, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
