 * Delete Original research - or possibly a copy of someone's undergrad thesis. Either way, not even close to being acceptable content. Yunshui (talk) 07:55, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Reorganise and delete. Hi Ilab62, your article is a good start and contains cited research which will hopefully be a useful addition to wikipedia. The main problem currently is that there are lots of statements with your own conclusions throughout the article, such as "Children with secure attachment are having better socio-emotional development and ability to interact entire life" and "Children of teenage mothers show problems in cognitive and socio-emotional development, which continue into adolescence". In the second quote you're also generalising to all teenage mothers but this is not justified - I'm sure many of these kids would be just fine.. All this can be remedied, but otherwise the article is not encyclopaedic..
 * Secondly, I would suggest that the name be changed to something like Parenting by teen mothers as IMHO that would better reflect the content.


 * Thirdly, some content like the Programs & Notes section at the end needs to be radically shortened & generalised. Wikipedia shouldn't be providing detailed descriptions of each support service (there are probably thousands of them worldwide) - that can be left to their websites.


 * Finally, there are lots of issues with style but this can be fixed later ..


 * Public Health is a very important area so I hope you continue working with Wikipedia, Ilab62. While you work on the article you may want to put it in a sandbox under your username, e.g. User:Ilab62/Parenting by teen mothers, so people won't bother you until you're ready to submit it. eug (talk) 14:07, 14 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Clearly this is well-intentioned; it seems to consist entirely of Original Research (see the "Notes" at the end which thank her research advisers for helping her with the OR); could well be Merge with other articles, but must clearly not be in the current form. No doubt the sources will be useful somewhere else. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:26, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, this is a prime example of WP:NOTESSAY. --Mr. Vernon (talk) 14:37, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
 * First, Merge socio-emotional and behavioral development in young children of teenage mothers and teenage mothers' children mental development, obvious forks. Second, Weak keep. The articles seem like a pretty good start for a new editor, various copyediting issue remain (like "Thank you to Professor Karen M. Finello and Professor Marie K. Poulsen of the University of Southern California, Keck School of Medicine, Department of Preventive Medicine, for giving me great ideas and insights on early childhood mental health"), but neither them, nor the problems with some unreferenced statement are an issue that should warrant a deletion. Perhaps a temporary userfy would help, so that the editor can remove all the essay like parts and copy-edit the article properly according to Wikipedia's Manual of Style. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; talk to me  16:06, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:NOTESSAY - dissertations are inherently inappopriate for an encyclopaedia regardless of how well written and sourced they are. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 02:35, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Definite delete - not the right kind of work for WP, looks more like an essay or dissertation for a Health and Social Welfare uni course. Bin, no amount of work in userspace would fix this.  BarkingFish  19:32, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Still a Delete - It is good to see so much enthusiasm from a new author, and so much sympathy from AfD reviewers. The article however remains (since I last looked on the 14th, see above) an essay with personal opinions (WP:NOTESSAY) consisting of personal research (WP:OR) written with passion. The correct course remains to delete it; some of the materials identified could be useful as evidence in existing articles. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:05, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete both as original research. --Odie5533 (talk) 08:02, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
