Post trial lawsuits against Michael Jackson

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

DELETE. First of all, let me remind editors that controversies involving Mr. Jackson are already documented extensively at wikipedia on the following articles: Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson's health and appearance, 1993 child sexual abuse accusations against Michael Jackson and People v. Jackson. The article that I have nominated basically allows any legal controversy involving Jackson (after June 2005) to be documented. Thus we could document every legal issue for the next 25 years. This article is a COATRACK of negative information, much of the allegations documented thus far never amount to anything and are outright lies. I expect this will probably continue, with the odd truth every 5 years. It's quite simple really, if any allegation against Jackson amouts to anything truthful it will be documented at Michael Jackson, if the event becomes huge then it will get it's own page. The article I have nominated basically allows a paragraph for every allegation made against Jackson, true or not, until the day he dies. It's tabloid titillation at it's best. — Realist  2  18:28, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge sourced infomation to People v. Jackson. Dalejenkins | 19:32, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Since the info has nothing to do with his 2005 trial that sounds absolutely silly, sorry I just have to be honest. That makes no sense at all to me. — Realist  2  19:02, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge anything notable and sourced to the main biographical article. I don't agree with merging with People v. Jackson as these cases don't appear to be related. Any information not sourced needs to be removed ASAP from this article per WP:BLP, especially when you're talking about legal cases, which could leave Wikipedia open to libel issues if it's not sourced or worded properly. If kept, the article will need to be policed constantly for WP:BLP and WP:NPOV] issues. 23skidoo (talk) 14:57, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The info that is there at the moment really doesn't seem notable for the main article (which just passed an FA review). None of the present cases in that article amounted to anything noteworthy. Since the main article is 112 KB I would strongly be inclined not to included it in the main Jackson article. —  Realist  2  19:02, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:COATRACK. Nom said it best. Leonard(Bloom) 02:57, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep because no ones gonna save you from the beast about to strike Testmasterflex (talk) 03:41, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Note to closing admin:This editor has made approximately 20 edits to wikipedia at the point of this keep vote. With the reasoning given for his keep vote it might be worth disregarding unless expanded upon. Singing a Michael Jackson song is not a legitimate reason to keep this article and I suggest a talk page warning. — Realist  2  03:56, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete We have MJ problems well covered, and don't need this article, which is an unclear scope to me. --Rob (talk) 05:48, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Entirely unsearchable (so merge & redirect is a loss), nebulous, with no coherent idea to tie the items together.  Utgard Loki (talk) 16:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge or Delete If any of this is new or novel, merge it with the other articles if it's properly sourced, else trash it BMW  (drive)  11:55, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * merge to Michael jackson. This may be too little content.-- Freewayguy What's up? 23:59, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * None of it is really notable for the Jackson article and it's all pov unsourced BLP violations. — Realist  2  01:11, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom.  Lady   Galaxy  22:05, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
