Prostitution in the Czech Republic
Porn advertising spam thinly disguised by the irrelevant point that CZ is a popular tourist destination Sam Clark 18:22, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep - in light of revision. Rgds, - Trident13 08:06, 6 October 2006 (UTC)


 * There is an encyclopaedia article to be had on this subject. This isn't it, though.  Nor is it even a decent stub.  If someone turns it into a decent stub based upon the aforementioned, keep.  Otherwise let the redlink in the navigation template stand.  Uncle G 01:02, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow, hard for me to pass up an opportunity like that, especially with Uncle G doing so much of the homework for me... um, I mean... heh. Lemme print up a few of those links for some light reading, and see if I can at least kit-bash something together that can pass AfD before this gets closed. --Roninbk t c e # 10:05, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * As Uncle G notes above, it is possible to write an encyclopedia article on this topic. This Google News Archive shows plenty of reliable sources to base such an article on. . Indeed, Prostitution in the People's Republic of China is a featured article. However, this article is not even a decent stub and seems to be an advertisement for the business mentioned. Would support keeping if improved, otherwise delete. Capitalistroadster 02:11, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Article has been overhauled Thanks the the gauntlet dropped by Uncle G, I've pieced together enough information to start an (in my humble opinion) decent article on the topic. Odd, how I went from knowing nothing on this subject to at least a Start-class article in four hours. --Roninbk t c e # 13:59, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep (if I'm allowed to vote, as nominator). Nice job. Cheers, Sam Clark 14:15, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * May we take that as a withdrawn nomination? --Roninbk t c e # 14:28, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * sure, if that's the easiest way to go: the article obviously doesn't meet criteria for deletion now. Cheers, Sam Clark 14:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. At least in the current state it is more-less valid. The "Rozkos bez rizika" organisation is tiny and not influential. The failure of legalisation so far is due to technicalities, it is not topic of political discissions in the Czech Rep and the groups opposing it have no political power or media presence. Doesn't mention child prostitution in border areas. Doesn't mention that most of the trade is controlled by organized crime. Pavel Vozenilek 23:01, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I never claimed this was a featured article yet. Yes, R-R is a small group, but since it seems to be the only group doing positive things in the area, it merits inclusion. It would not meet notability outside the article though, and that's why I haven't written a full article on them. As to the legislation, you raise a good point, and I can definitely include that fact in the article. But just because something isn't a current events issue, doesn't mean it's not encyclopedic. Child prostitution is definitely something I will be adding more information on in my next go at this article. The organized crime aspect is a bit more difficult to verifiably write about, since the nature of organized crime makes it difficult to quantify objectively. I actually wrestled with that point, trying to come up with a verifiable NPOV take on it, before deciding to leave it out in this edit. But thank you for the critique. --Roninbk t c e # 03:24, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, I just added in information on child prostitution, human trafficking, (thanks to a public domain State Dept. report,) and more info on the current state of legalization. Hopefully, this is more complete --Roninbk t c e # 06:55, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * It should be noted that the original author of the article has posted to the Talk page, endorsing the current revision of the article, and against deletion. --Roninbk t c e # 07:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I added more info and will take a look later. This AfD should be closed now. Pavel Vozenilek 13:09, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
