This article is only one sentence long and fails to explain much of anything Ravens (talk). 21:09, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Economics and United States of America. Ravens (talk). 21:09, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. While interesting things could be said about the subject, it's probably best that they be done at Taxation_in_the_United_States, which itself is only one sentence long. See WP:CFORK. Fiachra10003 (talk) 11:27, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Subject is obviously notable; tonnes have been written on the topic. The current state of the article has no bearing on notability. Benjamin (talk) 16:41, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete per Fiachra10003. Another article is unnecessary. Azuredivay (talk) 11:05, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TNT. It's a notable topic, and it's actually one that I would love to write about. However, the content on the page is one sentence putting a claim in Wikivoice that the tax code is too inefficient. But nothing in the article is worth rescuing at this point. I've created the page Draft:Economics of taxation in the United States for the sake of writing a page and moving it into the mainspace after I can get it to C-class length, but the current mainspace article very literally fits the bill of 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. — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 22:02, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. The subject belongs to articles about Taxation in the United States or similar to that. Even its one line of definition is not just a triviality empty of any kind of valuable knowledge but also a contentious, arbitrary assertion ("The complexity of the US tax code causes economic inefficiency" - yes, some would argue, and so do taxes per se). I would suggest a Merge if there was something here but there isn't. Let's blow it up and allow anyone who feels strongly of the subject's independent importance to try their hand. -The Gnome (talk) 09:43, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
