People First (now at People-first language)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article concerns an apparently non-notable term, cites only a single, polemical source, is written in the style of an unencyclopedic POV essay, and might constitute original research. John254 01:48, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete -- I think it might be possible to start a worthwhile article on People First language, but this isn't it. — Demong talk 02:50, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom Dalejenkins
 * Keep -- I believe the idea is linguistically and politically flawed (see ), but this certainly is a notable term which a multitude of sources can be found for courtesy of Google (43,000+ results). "People first" is also a common name of organizations for disabled people, or people with disabilities if you prefer. The article could use some neutral rewording, but other than that I find no real fault with it. However, it should be moved to People First language, as "people first" is also a political slogan in other contexts, with People First becoming a disambiguation page. kate theobaldy 09:27, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I have revised and moved the article as per my statement above, I hope that's OK with you guys. kate theobaldy 11:34, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep the new version. The term seems to be notable (it is referred to in numerous academic publications). The other reasons given for deletion were perfectly valid for the first version of the article, but do no longer apply to the completely rewritten text by kate theobaldy.
