Article 14 Direction

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No refs on the page for many years. I'm suggesting it should be WP:TNT on the basis that there is too little information on the page to expand, merge or redirect. Which Act is this Article from? There are sources which seem to refer to it, but how do we know it is the same one that this page is discussing. JMWt (talk) 08:24, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment. This seems to be it. --Ouro (blah blah) 09:42, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * If that's correct (I can't verify that it is or isn't), perhaps General Permitted Development Order should be expanded. I can't really see how a redirect would help (again, I'm not an expert but there could be many Article 14 in national laws that this could be referring to). JMWt (talk) 09:49, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to Directions preventing the determination of applications or General Development Procedure Order or similar. This is the general power of direction and is part of the notable context described in that chapter 8 of that book. However, these directions are now called article 31 directions (which also include the former article 25 directions) and satisfy GNG. There are entire book chapters  and entire periodical articles  about them. There is also coverage in a number of other sources. There is no problem with a redirect from "article 14 direction" as that name has actually been used  . We don't need to disambiguate unless other legislation has directions that are verifiably called "article 14 directions" (merely having an "article 14" is not enough). For the avoidance of doubt, the General Development Procedure Order (GDPO), now replaced by the "Development Management Procedure" order, is not the General Permitted Development Order. And the GDPO should have an article. James500 (talk) 16:46, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok seeing as you seem to know something about it, I even more strongly suggest WP:TNT (or draftify) until you and other knowledgeable editors can get around to writing the page. Because from what you are saying the current page is actually legally outdated and incorrect. Given the current page fails WP:V we shouldn't keep it in mainspace.

 * The topic of an article does not become unverifiable just because some of the content is out of date. Every article on Wikipedia goes out of date on a regular basis, because new information and new developments are happening all the time on every subject. The page is a verifiable description of a law that existed under that name during and after 1995, and which still exists in a substantially equivalent form under a different name. Article content about a period of history does not become unverifiable just because the period of history is over. In any event, notability is not temporary per the guideline WP:NTEMP. Therefore this topic does not cease to be notable just because the name has changed. In any event, the applicable policy is not TNT, but is instead WP:ATD which says "If editing can address all relevant reasons for deletion, this should be done rather than deleting the page". That is case here. TNT is not grounds for imposing a seven day deadline on updates to a page, every time it goes out of date, on pain of deletion if the update is not carried out in seven days.

 * ✅. The article is not out of date now. That took exactly 25 minutes at a very leisurely pace without breaking a sweat. A child, with no previous knowledge of the subject, could have done that update. Hardly a case for TNT. Not even close. James500 (talk) 19:23, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Absolute rubbish, if it was that easy then someone would have done it before now. I'm not a child, I have no prior knowledge and it was clear that I couldn't improve the page.
 * Anyway, I'm glad you've been able to improve it to your satisfaction. Incidentally even with improvement I'm not convinced it meets the notability standards. JMWt (talk) 20:19, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Happy to see the article growing, still... I think that some more context should be provided, the article should include some more background as to the environment of the legal regulations it describes. I think. To be frank, at first glance it's difficult to put into perspective. --Ouro (blah blah) 20:25, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * If it was that easy then someone would have done it before now. Come on now, you know that isn't true. There are many reasons why people may miss one little Wikipedia article out of millions. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:58, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: per WP:HEY. would you mind adding other cites to the article? voorts (talk/contributions) 19:45, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 * To note, I have no opinion on what the article title should be and I don't see why this couldn't be BOLD-ly moved if kept. voorts (talk/contributions) 19:10, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
