Delete, while this is a sad condition that should be addressed as is this is a essay and borderline soapbox article. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 14:10, 8 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep and cleanup The fact that the current article reads like a soapbox essay doesn't negate the fact that there are a ton of sources in the article already, making the subject notable and therefore worthy of an article. The   Seeker 4   Talk  14:16, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve as creator, the current sources and various independent WP:RS is enough, article is still inuse, you may help improving it instead nominating for speedy deletions. Kasaalan (talk) 16:34, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The topic is backed up by reliable, third-party sources which cover it in significant detail. The article needs cleanup and copyediting, yes, but that isn't something for AfD. Ironholds (talk) 15:22, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Cursory Google search shows plenty of reliable sources. Joshdboz (talk) 16:05, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * while I still disagree about this article if prevailing opinion continues feel free to close.Hell In A Bucket (talk) 16:28, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I still improve the article, the conditions are undeniably bad though some advertising of boycott campaigns are disputed. If you are interested you may help improving the article. I have more scholar book links about conditions, yet it takes time to implement them, no reason to delete. Kasaalan (talk) 16:32, 8 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep and cleanup. No doubt the issue is notable, but the author must try his/her best to stay neutral and civil. Materialscientist (talk) 22:28, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
