What is wrong? What is problem? What change should be done to continue putting this article in Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlueRibbon (talk • contribs)


 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, and articles must have a neutral point of view (the links go to the relevant policies). The current article is just advocacy, however much I might happen to agree with it (eg. there is still debate as to the significance of second hand smoke as a health hazard; certainly prolonged domestic/workplace exposure appears to somewhat correlated to health damage, but there is little evidence on the dose-response relationship). Anyway, the links in the page go to more advocacy, rather than reliable sources. I can't really see a way to re-write the article to get the required balance, hence my opinion.

 * Also delete Anti-tobacco, anti-second hand smoke now it has been added to this discussion. Passive smoking covers the medical issues, smoking ban the campaigning side of things. Sliggy 20:51, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with Blue ribbon as this a worthwhile addition to the list of uses of blue in ribbon symbolism. MLA 16:00, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Merge, along with Anti-tobacco, anti-second hand smoke -- xaosflux  Talk  / CVU  03:45, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, no real additional info for the prospective merge. - C HAIRBOY (☎) 03:52, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Existence of the campaign is obvious fact. Is telling about this campaign wrong in Wikipedia? "Blue Ribbon Online Free Speech Campaign" has independent article. What difference lies between these two campaign? BlueRibbon
 * This article indicates that blue ribbon anti second hand smoke campaign exsists in Canada, never says "let's join the campaign."


 * Delete. Advocacy soapbox. -- Krash (Talk) 17:02, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
