Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Affordable Care Act and Young Adult Obesity


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete per WP:SNOW. At best this article is redundant to the pre-existing article about the ACA. At worst this is a personal essay riddled with original research. I would e-mail a copy of this to the article's creator but they haven't enabled their e-mail option. I'll leave a message on their talk page about this, but I will not leave a message on their YT channel as they requested on the article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  05:15, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

The Affordable Care Act and Young Adult Obesity

WP:OR WP:CRYSTAL Not to mention being unencyclopaedic. Adam9007 (talk) 16:34, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - This is the epitome of an essay ("The author of this page wishes to inform young adults..."), and it's riddled with OR and speculation. I don't see any salvageable content here. Maralia (talk) 16:56, 11 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete - this is not an article but an essay. —Мандичка YO 😜 17:08, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. The author asserts that this is being written for a school assignment. It would make a fine essay, but it is not an encyclopedia article. It is riddled with original research and the editor's opinions. —C.Fred (talk) 18:45, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Ugh, did the author mess up by creating it in article space or is there really a teacher out there instructing students to create Wikipedia articles for homework? —Мандичка YO 😜 20:10, 11 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete possibly speedily as promotion ("The purpose of this page is to inform the young adult population of the United States about the Affordable Care Act (ACA)"). If BloggsCo Stores only want to inform potential customers about their bargains in their forthcoming sale - should they be allowed an article for that purpose? Yes, there are teachers and tutors that seem to set Wikipedia as course work or even weekend homework. That doesn't mean that all things claimed to be school assignments really are supposed to be here. This might be a 'written' assignment posted by an enthusiastic student. It could even be by someone working for the ACA - artspam can come from normally respectable organisations. Whoever it's by, and whyever it's been written, its wherever is somewhere like Facebook (or the teacher's desk). Peridon (talk) 20:54, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOTESSAY. Anything significant should already be in ACA's article.  &#8213;  Padenton &#124;&#9993;  21:42, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. - There is already an article covering The Affordable Care Act. If young adult obesity is relevant to the already existing article, it should be included there and not the subject of an independent article.    Ormr2014 | Talk
