The American Drug War

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

FORK of War on Drugs, with liberal doses of WP:SYN. I would suggest merging to War on Drugs, but after the non-NPOV language is stripped out, there won't be much left. PROD tag removed by author. Recommend Delete. Dchall1 03:41, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete but Merge - Some of this stuff in the article can be used to supplement articles aforementioned: 'War on Drugs', etc. Furthermore, the phrase "The American Drug War" seems so threatening and ominous like an actual full-out civil war; it shouldn't really be denoted as such. I'd agree that the US is stepping up its control over crimes, but this article is somewhat too overemphasizing. WinterSpw (talk) 23:54, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. It's a fring-ish, synthesized essay. Majoreditor (talk) 04:28, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as blatant POV fork. RayAYang (talk) 04:36, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:SOAPBOX. We have a War on Drugs, already; anything else would basically be non-WP:NPOV. MuZemike  ( talk ) 09:16, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, POV fork -J3ff (talk) 00:43, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, I can't see how this is any different from the "War on Drugs," and it seems extremely biased to me. H e mh e m20X6 03:17, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as extremely biased, with no useful information worth saving as an article independent from War on Drugs. Theseeker4 (talk) 18:09, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Do Not Delete, This is a truthful article. Wikipedia seems to have a lot of right-wing and elitist users on it that want to see this article deleted. Evidently some the people who want this thing deleted are trying to make the USA seem like a peaceful and prosperous nation when it is not. There is a REAL WAR being waged by the police against Black and Latino "gangs" in the cities. The police have killed thousands of people since 1986 either by shooting them or locking them up and denying them proper medical care. This is a major human rights issue. Deleting this article will not make the issue go away on Wikipedia! -Rockydesert8 (talk) 18:13, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
