List of U.S. state legal codes
Indiscriminate collection of data, nothing but external links. User:Zoe|(talk) 23:58, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

*Delete per nom. BlueValour 00:20, 18 June 2006 (UTC) In view of below; vote withdrawn while I think this through some more. BlueValour 00:46, 18 June 2006 (UTC)OK, Keep for the moment. This could prove a useful resource. It can be revisited in a few months to see if it has been completed. BlueValour 23:17, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep so far it's nothing but links, but note the discussion Brian Sayrs 00:28, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete While I don't usually like deleting possibly valuable information, directories are not the direction Wikipedia wants to move in. The only way I can support this is with an article on each state legal code with an external link at the bottom. AdamBiswanger1 01:26, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Per WP:NOT, this is clearly not indiscriminate as the criteria for inclusion in the page is clear - anything here must be a legal code for a US State. My absence of knowledge of US statute law leads me to infer that there is apparently one such compendium for each state? If so, I see no problem whatsoever. Jammo (SM247) 01:30, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Brian Sayrs. Spacepotato 02:50, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment You might want to apply a construction tag to avoid incidents like this. Yanksox (talk) 06:25, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I am unfamiliar with the construction tag...I will go look it up! Brian Sayrs 00:28, 19 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep why not. 50 is a known number. Use inuse. - CrazyRussian talk/email 00:49, 19 June 2006 (UTC)`
 * Delete. WP:NOT a web directory.  Trans–whatever to the [Open directory project]. Florida Statutes, Code of Iowa, and Massachusetts General Laws  seem questionable, as well, but I'm not going to nominate them. &mdash; Arthur Rubin |  (talk) 19:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per CSD:A3, nothing other than markup, links, and templates. Stifle (talk) 21:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment this page appears to be under construction. I disagree that it meets CSD A3 as there is pertinent information here other than mere exeternal links and markup, such as the year of adoption and links to the relevant articles. It is a list, it won't have a huge amount of substantive information. Note that the page is clearly shown as being incomplete. Jammo (SM247) 22:44, 20 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. This is exactly the sort of thing we need and when completed will be a model list and valuable resource. Certainly not a speedy. --JJay 23:54, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
