Obama Administration Miranda-warning proposal

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Deprodded page on a proposal, which seems to have been an off the cuff remark by AG Holder in a TV interview. In any case, the page is a WP:SYNTHESIS and WP:COATRACK with no secondary sources making the same claims. Abductive (reasoning) 03:41, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to Miranda Warning without a redirect. Although this may need to be recreated later on if it actually is a proposal, an off-hand comment is not enough for its own article. If it is considered important, two lines in the main article is more than enough. Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:26, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Comments - A month ago I would have said delete, but now either a weak keep or a merger would be appropriate, as it seems to be an important change in legal policy. Lawyers are talking about this; it was a heated debate in my college's faculty room.  I'd like to hear from others before doing anything drastic with this attempted article here.  Comments anyone?

 * Delete - The subject regards an off-handed comment by Holder, which is not policy, and not worthy of its own article. If a policy is created, we can always create a new article on the subject. --Yachtsman1 (talk) 17:48, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL, strange though that may be for a legal article. If this becomes a cogent policy proposal, an article would absolutely be appropriate -but we're not there yet. Anything about this proposal that doesn't yet exist would be speculation at best. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 18:18, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll go along with delete. The nom and arguments have convinced me. Bearian (talk) 20:04, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
