Sham marriage in the United Kingdom
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

We don't have articles on sham marriage in other countries and I don't see anything in this article that makes the situation in the UK look unusual enough to warrant a separate article from Sham marriage. The argument for the first AfD still holds, I think the Delete/Merge arguments were stronger and this article has not been greatly improved in the 2+ years since the last AfD. Finally, 2 of the 3 "Keep" votes (User:E.M.Gregory and User:A.Jacobin) in the first AfD were sockpuppets and so I'd like to see if there is sufficient support now to keep this article. Liz Read!

 * Comment We could merge it into the main "sham marriage" article, or a brief subsection. Nothing too particular about this situation in the UK that warrants its own article. Oaktree b (talk) 19:49, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Is having this article particularly different from having Green card marriage, the U.S. equivalent? BD2412  T 20:31, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Agree with merge proposal above. --Bduke (talk) 04:59, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge useful material into Sham marriage and get rid of the rest. RomanSpa (talk) 18:39, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Agree with Merge - Merging seems like a sensible way forward that will allow relevant information to be kept on a single page that is probably more accessible. Dunarc (talk) 20:26, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
