Child Welfare Board

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Says nearly nothing except that this is a government entity that exists. "Child Welfare Boards" are not a unique entity to New York, either; a quick search shows that they exist in Ohio, Texas, and Louisiana, and possibly other states. It's also not clear how it relates to present-day social services in the city or state, since the only citation is from 1915. Apocheir (talk) 01:00, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  03:46, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge existing content to Government of New York (state), then delete. I looked to see if there was a more general children welfare article pertaining to the US but it seems child protection is the closest one so a redirect does not seem favorable. – The Grid  ( talk )  15:54, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. I see no point in a merger. As noted in the article, there was one per county mandated in 1915. A search through Newspapers.com shows surprisingly little on New York City's, and the newspaper stories mainly are picayune. This article was not well thought-out and I suggest to the author that they consider perhaps a differently framed article. Figureofnine (talk • contribs) 19:34, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TNT. As the nominator said, Child Welfare Boards are not exclusive to New York, which this article solely focuses on. If an article were to be created under this title, then it should cover child welfare boards in general. The TNT tipping point is if the article's content is useless (including all the versions in history) but the title might be useful, then delete the content to help encourage a new article. I don't think there's anything encyclopedic worth WP:PRESERVEing here, even as a merger. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 13:13, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
