The result was merge‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__ to Glossary of law. Reasonable time was also suggested as a merge target but did not win as much support. signed,Rosguill talk 02:43, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Immediately (law)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

a bunch of unsourced articles that rather blatantly violate the fact that wikipedia is not a dictionary.

 * Delete Merge to Glossary of law. More relevant to Wiktionary than here; blatant WP:NOTDICTIONARY violation. JML1148 (Talk &#124; Contribs) 07:36, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: this entry documents a contested legal term of art, it does not provide a definition of the term. Definitions are what Wiktionary is for; this article has a fundamentally different basis. Jack4576 (talk) 11:43, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge the relevant content to Reasonable time and Glossary of law without prejudice or keep Immediately (law). This legal concept satisfies GNG easily and by a wide margin. There is a very large amount of coverage in books:   . This concept is very often the same thing as reasonable time, and is typically the same thing in English law. The content of this article is about case law on statutory interpretation (and the similar interpretation of other legal instruments such as contracts) and is not a lexicographer's dictionary definition. In any event, an article on this legal concept is capable of being expanded far beyond a definition. The article is entirely referenced to encyclopedias and law reports from start to finish. Certain content in the section of the article headed "Compounds" might be merged to the glossary on grounds, in particular, that it appears that it may be glossary material, and include multiple glossary entries for separate terms.

 * Merge to Glossary of law per above. NOTDICT applies. If there is a consensus for a different merge / redirect target, I have no objection; in this case I think a merge into the glossary with related terms wikilinked makes the most sense.  // Timothy :: talk  05:12, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
