Child injuries solicitors

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Blatant advertising for law firm despite removal of multiple refs to its websites and addition of .gov sources; biased, poorly sourced information not suitable for article or merger into other articles without considerable work, especially when source editor realizes his/her commercial links will not be included in any resulting article or merger.

 * This is certainly a peculiar article, and I wonder whether the author has understood the purpose of an encyclopaedia. The author is certainly more familiar with promotional or persuasive writing than the usual encyclopaedic style, and seems to have turned the article into a "how-to" guide partway through writing it; it seems to be a detailed description of the process and likely outcomes of a child injuries compensation claim in the UK.  This doesn't in itself mean the article's so far beyond repair that it should be deleted, though, and I want to reserve my opinion on that for the moment. From my personal knowledge, the contents of that article seem to be perfectly accurate and truthful, and mostly could (with a little effort) be sourced, though someone with access to a case law database should be the one to do that.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  10:24, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, not blatant advertising, but Wikipedia isn't a how-to guide about suing people who injured your child. Nyttend (talk) 13:15, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, weakly. While there might be valid information in the article about the process of litigation for personal injury claims involving minors in the UK, that subject should be addressed in an article about the statutes, procedural rules, or legal principles involved.  The title is surely unacceptable, and links to particular solicitor firms taking credit for this text are even less acceptable.  If this can be saved, it ought first to be moved to an appropriate title, such as personal injury litigation for minors in the United Kingdom or something that comports with their terminology. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:14, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
