Social Justice in Utah

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article does not appear to match the title and is more of an essay than encyclopedic. PROD placed but removed by author without modification. &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  15:54, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Loriendrew has pretty much summed it up. The article looks more like a school assignment, covering various topics about Utah. This is not an encyclopedia article.--Larry (talk) 17:22, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete An unsourced off topic essay. Someone should probably drop a friendly message to Kailee801, author of this good faith effort, and go over some basic policies. Nwlaw63 (talk) 00:53, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete -- Although it cites a number of reliable sources, it is sadly non-neutral and is structured like an essay - hence a blatant violation of WP:NOTESSAY. hmssolent \You rang? ship's log 15:11, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete -- I was going to suggest a userfication of this article and hoping that User:Kailee801 could be given the chance to clean this article up and find something to salvage. The problem is that almost everything in this piece is already found in better detail in other existing articles on Wikipedia with the possible exception of the content on homosexuality, and even that is somewhat covered under LGBT rights in Utah.  Not perfectly, and a Homosexuality in Utah would be an interesting article, but I don't think this would even make a good stub for an article like that.  I agree that a friendly note thanking the good faith effort of this user at least trying to do something useful for Wikipedia is warranted, but this article does need to be deleted in its current state.  --Robert Horning (talk) 17:12, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a horribly POV-pushing article. To beging with, when did Serbians and Greeks become "non-white". This is clearly not how the US census bureau has ever sued the term, Iranians, Yemenses and Egyptians are white to the Census Bureaua. Census figures are the only workable ones we have on percentages of whites, so things are more complex than can be seen from this article. Also, the over-focus on Salt Lake City in an article supposedly about Utah just does not work. Anyway, the title itself is not really neutral.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:06, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete as an unsourced original essay (a.k.a. "Original Research"). Carrite (talk) 17:12, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
