Prostitution in Mauritius

The content is erroneous and the two references provided does not proves what is written by the editor and they are both from blogers which is undoubtedly an unreliable source. Kingroyos (talk) 09:34, 15 October 2012 (UTC)


 * The source article from The Independent is an acceptably reliable source as, blog or no, its accuracy is guaranteed by the reputation of the newspaper per WP:BLOG. The content can be worked on as part of normal editing so that's not a reason for deletion (WP:SOFIXIT). Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:10, 15 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Even if the The Independent is regarded as a reliable source, the one provided is purely the personal view of a person who talk about his stays in Mauritius and what happen to him, whatever he has stated may not necessarily be reliable even if it has been published by The Independent, for example he state that The United States estimated that 2,600 children are trafficked internally to fuel the trade of sex tourism which is completely erroneous, the latest report by the US state that there has been only 14 cases of child sex traficking (see ).

 * OK, so you have a reliable source on the subject, you can add it to the article, observe that it contradicts the other less good source, and correct the picture. That's normal editing, n'est-ce pas? Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:02, 15 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge to Human trafficking in Mauritius as a fork. I think this is an encyclopedic topic and I think that the topic meets GNG, as a simple Google search of "MAURITIUS" + "SEX TOURISM" will show. The merge target needs remedial work in writing style, sourcing, and wikification. I would put up an ARTICLE RESCUE SQUAD template on the merge target, but that has been deleted by the misguided mob. Oh, well... Carrite (talk) 16:51, 15 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge to Human trafficking in Mauritius, I agree (pace the above discussion) that this would be appropriate. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:47, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge what little is present into Human trafficking in Mauritius. Two articles on the same subject compose a content fork. Target is a bit of mess, I'll concede. I agree with User:Carrite that merge then improvement of the target page by ARS or otherwise would be the right way to go. BusterD (talk) 14:23, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
