Interest on past due child support

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested prod from over 5 years ago because "No secondary sources used to establish this as a notable topic unto itself; all 3 sources are primary. See WP:RS"

Prod template removed by article creator because "...I want to improve the article so it meets standards. However, I need more time to learn how to do what I need to do." (their edit summary)

Article hasn't improved much since then, and I agree with prod nominator in that this doesn't seem like a notable topic on its own; reading the lead paragraph of the article, the article scope is messy, not well-defined, and set up like an essay.

Only sources are of US state laws. ~EdGl  talk  20:58, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Too US-centric to be of interest to a general audience and poorly-sourced. Oaktree b (talk) 20:59, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to Child support in the United States. BD2412  T 21:38, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to Child support in the United States per above.★Trekker (talk) 22:27, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to Child support in the United States. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:08, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment (from nominator): Those of you saying "merge", what content in the article is worth merging into that other article? Nothing is sourced except a couple bits of state law information. ~EdGl   talk  04:42, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete This is specifically about things in the United States, so it should be covered under that topic. However there is no show that this is notable, and so nothing we need to preserve by merging.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:13, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge' as suggested and reasonable. Please ping me if you required assistance. Bearian (talk) 21:44, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete a largely-unsourced essay. The only sourcing is the primary sources for interest in 3 specific states.  If someone wanted to work on this as a draft (or add some well-sourced material on the topic to Child support in the United States) that would be fine, but none of the current content is suitable for merging. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 20:09, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to Child support in the United States Spudlace (talk) 08:22, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per power~enwiki very little sourced content in the article is suitable for merging Spudlace (talk) 08:24, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
