Legal terrorism
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

Page seems to be used for advocacy against a dowry law in India rather than for encyclopedic content. a) all tied to a single issue (WP:NOT#NEWS) b) none of the sources used or that I found are good enough to be considered reliable. In fact the only book I found with a similar name has nothing to do with this topic On these grounds I believe the article fails both the general notability guideline and WP:NOT.
 * The term 'legal terrorism' is claimed to be "widely used in India" by the page and while a google search does get some hits they are:
 * The page is also home to some original research and is quite starkly written from one point of view.

This article should either be deleted, or redirected to Frivolous litigation or vexatious litigation, or failing that what is actually notable merged to Dowry law in India-- Cailil  talk 19:05, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Redirect. Since redirect terms don't have to be notable and someone might look for this subject using this search term, it can't hurt to redirect it instead of outright deleting it - but I do agree that it fails the GNG. Kevin (talk) 17:46, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge or redirect as suggested above. The common law has many pleonasms -- redundant lists of synonyms.  This is one of a piece with "frivolous, silly, vexacious, and unreasonable lawsuits".  There is no need for a separate article on this phrase. Bearian (talk) 20:37, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
