Retroactive abortion

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A combination of Original research, soap-boxery, and neologism that is a fairly obvious POV-fork. Throw in bad-writing, tendentious argument, and other vices too many too mention, and this article really doesn't belong. Buck  ets  ofg 16:45, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete as nom.  Buck  ets  ofg  16:45, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Note I stubbed the article to remove some of the unacceptable, unsourced and libelous content. Currently it is no more than a dicdef.  Since it is a real term I am not sure it should be deleted. --Daniel J. Leivick 20:58, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - per WP:DICT. Should go in the Wiktionary. --  Hot Dog Wolf   Bark!  21:01, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Should go in the Urban Dictionary perhaps, but as an unnotable non-universal term, has no place in either WP or WK. Groupthink 21:09, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:DICT. It's a common enough phrase, but it's a dicdef. The definition given doesn't even match what "retroactive abortion" means - it's usually applied towards adults, whether just annoying or truly criminal. I have never once heard it used in relation to a child, not once, ever. -- Charlene 21:41, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete poor quality dicdef, unless some evidence is produced that something could be made of this. Oliver Keenan 22:45, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Oliver has this one right, this one isn't even well written.  Maybe submit to Wiktionary. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 23:21, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete (G3) and salt Obviously unencyclopedic, thus fitting the definition of pure vandalism. Should be salted as well.  Blueboy96 13:23, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * This is the second such !vote from you I've seen. Are you trying to prove a WP:POINT? -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 20:00, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete but no salt. This term could be wiki-linked to later in it's life from things other than the AfD and might deserve a redirect or something then (perhaps to abortion). -- omtay 38  19:54, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom, WP:HOAX, and above discussions. Bearian 22:52, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
