Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Non-violent child discipline

Nicely written, but woefully POV and questionably encyclopedic. - Lucky 6.9 17:29, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• There's useful stuff here which can be used for an NPOV rewrite ("proponents say..."), and there is no child discipline article in the first place, which is an omission... -- Anon.
• Also, what about "lead by example" as a method of child discipline? -- Anon.
  • Sorry, Anons. Anonymous votes do not count. - Lucky 6.9 18:18, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Keep - it's an encyclopaedic topic. Mark POV and send to cleanup - David Gerard 18:20, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Change it to be more cyclopedic; don't delete it. The subject has been too long ignored by the mainstream, to our chagrin. Raina
  • Sockpuppets don't count, either. I'm OK with a cleanup if anyone thinks this can be made NPOV. Always better to keep something potentially useful. - Lucky 6.9 20:16, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. I've added a child discipline stub, which could be greatly expanded as part of this. Andrewa 21:23, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• Keep and fix. Pretty good article. Quite a lot of specific content. Topic is encyclopedic enough. Yes, it does have POV problems.

• Keep, but send to Cleanup - as much as the appearance of sockpuppets makes me wary. Ambivalenthysteria 04:34, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Comment: Lucky & Ambivalenthysteria, I did not appreciate the first accusation but let it pass. With this second one, I will respond that I am a mother and grandmother, not particularly computer-savvy nor very good at writing, who has never written anything here in any attempt to hide my identity. I would appreciate it if you would cease your accusations. Perhaps you don't like my subject matter, but I appreciate your comments to leave it. Thank you. I do appreciate all the rewrites. Thank you for those. -- Raina

Sorry! I didn't know how to do this before!  :-) Raina 05:52, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• Merge with child discipline and redirect. Jay 15:41, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• No further accusations on this end. Promise. Historically, anonymous votes are frowned upon here and it's rare that a legitimate new user jumps into the discussion. Please accept my apologies and welcome to the club! - Lucky 6.9 20:56, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Definitely a keeper!! By the way we need a category for 'parenting' articles is category:Parenting suitable? Erich 06:50, 8 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Comment: No problem, Lucky, and thank you!  :-D Raina 03:36, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC) (Comment moved here from vfd main space by Graham ☺ | Talk)
