Southampton International Boat Show Act 1997

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

In my opinion, the article does not pass WP:GNG. The only source in relation to this article seems to be broken. Furthermore, I was going to suggest a merger with Southampton Boat Show, but I personally didn’t think it was worth it seeing as there is already somewhat sufficient information on the Act in that article already with Southampton International Boat Show Act 1997 adding little new (others may feel differently about this), so therefore brought it to AFD. If we do find more sources and information for this article, that would be great, but the question is would it be worth adding new information to this article over the Southampton Boat Show article, which I believe is sufficient to hold the information. As I have already mentioned, I personally feel like none of the information in this article add little to nothing more than what has already been mentioned at Southampton Boat Show, hence why I have brought this to AFD rather than requesting a merger, seeing as the content is already held elsewhere. However, listening to arguments may sway my opinion on this should people think a merger/keeping/redirecting is better than deletion. Fats40boy11 (talk) 11:00, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - Duplicates entirely what's already at Southampton International Boat Show. Nothing worth expanding on found in my WP:BEFORE - just lists of statutes in force and a bare-mention in a book on how Parliament works. FOARP (talk) 13:41, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
 * This article contains information not included in Southampton Boat Show. The other sources are not "just lists of statutes in force". James500 (talk) 02:37, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Southampton Boat Show. The information in Southampton Boat Show is not sufficient. What is the chapter number and in which numbered series is the Act included? (Bear in mind that public Acts, like this one, are judicially noticed). What is the title? What are the dates of royal assent and commencement? What are the details of the parliamentary debates on the Bill? (Bear in mind that Parliament acts in a quasi-judicial capacity when it deals with (public) local and personal Bills, and private Bills, promoted by individuals or corporations; and that Pepper v Hart applies to debates). Has the Act been amended? Which enactments does it amend? What commentaries have been published on the Act and what do they say about it? Not answered. There are other sources: (see eg  for an example of commentary)  . James500 (talk) 02:34, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
