Street children in Eastern Europe

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Few questions for a start of deletion process:
 * A no-subject article to be deleted
 * What exactly is Eastern Europe in the sense of this pseudoarticle?
 * Who exactly are "Street children"?
 * What is that so common to the "Street children in Eastern Europe" which warrants a separate article on them (instead of country-specific articles)?
 * How exactly do "Street children in Eastern Europe" differ that much from "Street children" in Central Africa and northern Australia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.72.233.80 (talk) 22:20, 8 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Note to closer The above IP editor tagged the article for AfD and I copied the above nomination from the article talk page, refactoring the header. I am now listing it in the daily log. Monty  845  17:17, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. This is a notable subject that can be easily sourced. @93.72.233.80. Yes, there are such things as Eastern Europe and Street children. Many countries in Eastern Europe have similar problems (such as this one) due to common history. There is nothing wrong with creating articles like Street children in Africa or Street children in Australia. My very best wishes (talk) 20:33, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Just bother going and actually reading the articles you linked to). European Union might also be great educating reading for you. Also note that the "article" in question describes both homeless and non-cared children (Russian in particular) - not specifying if they are all "street children" and why. Not the kind of integrity you'd expect from Wikipedia.93.72.233.80 (talk) 10:09, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete/Merge some content into RELEVANT country-specific articles. After purging of Cpt. Obvious' reports like "Street children in Russia often miss out on proper education due to the difficulties of living on the streets.", of course) 93.72.233.80 (talk) 10:09, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
