History of sexual abuse as a social problem
This subject may well be a worthwhile addition to an encyclopædia but the page should not be created and left to hang without including factual information and citation of sources -- (aeropagitica) 00:04, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It may be poorly written, but the main idea of the topic is there. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 00:14, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Based on the title I had thought I was probably going to vote for a merge into an existing article.  Then I read the article and realized that it has no information to merge.  It just has unsourced declarations, which Wikipedia will never be in short supply of. -- Antaeus Feldspar 00:44, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for the moment. Tag as a stub, see if in a month or so it has improved then reconsider. Topic is of potential significance. Batmanand 01:49, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's been there since sept 21, and is still content-free. Whoever wrote it seems to have lost interest. --Squiddy 10:34, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Squiddy. Batmanand, I would agree with you on many topics, but this one is too big, and potentially troublesome, to leave hanging as it is. If someone with something useful to write comes along they can recreate the article (some different name probably better anyway). Herostratus 16:27, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Mmm point taken. On reflection, I think I agree with it. Article can be remade if necessary. Original vote gotten rid of, new vote: Delete. Batmanand 18:41, 31 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete this should be covered in sexual abuse until it grows too big and gets split out; right now this is a stub. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 16:46, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per the comments above. NeoJustin 18:30, December 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. --Muchness 18:46, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, it feels more like a ghost town than a stub. Let it be recreated later if someoen wants to write it. -Lanoitarus (talk) .:. 19:16, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - Come on people, we should have an article about the history of sexual abuse as a social problem, it's an interesting subject. I'd write it myself but I have other things to worry about, like high school. People can always expand it, I'm sure there are people who'd do it. --Thorri 22:49, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, my reply to that would be: We should definitely have information about the history of sexual abuse as a social problem.  But only once we actually have that information should we have an article on it.  As JZGYK says, it's much better to develop the subject at the existing article, and spin off into a sub-article if and when we have enough for such an article. -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:20, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, I can see your point. Oh, well, the article would've prolly been deleted anyway. --Thorri 14:25, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, per above and almost empty. Pavel Vozenilek 23:22, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't know that this is the best title anyway.  Wouldn't "History of sexual abuse" suffice.  Do we really need to include "as a social problem"???  What for?  To differentiate it from say the "History of sexual abuse as a recreational activity"  Blackcats 03:53, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete until such a time as the relevant section of the Sexual abuse article gets so big as to warrent an independant article. --Victim of signature fascism | help remove biblecruft 21:32, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
