Best Interest of the Child
This was proposed by Kine on April 3, but he failed to list it. POV rant.

 * Delete POV and redirect to child custody. Gazpacho 14:01, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete strong POV and not even very informative, Wegsjac 14:03, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, Cleanup, Expand. As currently written, this is an NPOV rant, but unlike Parentectomy, also on VfD below, it is not a made up term. Rather, "Best interest of the child" is the standard that most courts use in making decisions involving child welfare (and not just custody decisions). I'll see what I can do with it. -- 8^D  gab 15:11, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)
 * Keep Important legal standard. Klonimus 16:38, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect as per Gazpacho. Arkyan 16:58, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Note that there's also Best interests. Niteowlneils 17:28, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. However IMO a better article would be "Children's rights", which is now a redirect to "Children's rights movement". The notion is not part of child custody and applicable in other situations. Mikkalai 17:40, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge the current content to Best interests. User:BD2412 did a good rewrite, but the information is already covered elsewhere. Dave the Red 17:50, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * @#&$! Oops - didn't know there was already a Best interests article - I'll merge the info to it, and suggest that the page under consideration here be redirected there... and it's done. -- 8^D gab 20:53, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is not a good article at the moment, but it's not so bad that all the content must go. Coupled with the fact that Best Interest of the Child is an important principle in family law, and that we should have an article on it, it should be kept, but improved.
 * Boldly merged with and redirected to best interests. -- 8^D gab 02:01, 2005 Apr 6 (UTC)
 * Support, good work.Halidecyphon 08:04, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Support the merge to Best interests. Great job.   &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 19:03, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
