Immigration Rules[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I am nominating three articles relating to the immigration and customs and the United Kingdom. They are Entry clearance, Administrative removal, and Immigration Rules. These articles are WP:Original research, WP:Neologisms, lacking WP:Reliable Sources, and/or not WP:Notable. They should all be merged into an appropriate article such as an article on the custom's of the United Kingdom or the Immigration Policy of the United Kingdom. This particular article on immigration rules is on such a vague but normal topic it really is just a good example that wikipedia is [a] WP:NOTDICTionary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Longthicknosnip (talk • contribs) — Longthicknosnip (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Disambiguate, since a user entering this as a search term could be looking for quite a lot of different things. Immigration to the United Kingdom since 1922, preserving the contribution history under the redirect, would need to be one of them, and the equivalent articles for other major countries should also be listed.—S Marshall T/C 09:09, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Immigration as the title is too general and similar to that topic. Warden (talk) 09:56, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Immigration for now. There could be a case for an article specifically about immigration law, but currently we only have astub whose information is more than duplicated elsewhere. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 17:41, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
On second thoughts, make that Immigration law, which is almost a synonym. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 17:44, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
