List of Canadian provincial Acts[edit]

Subject is better served by existing categories rather than this list, which is terribly incomplete; it doesn't even list NB, NT, YT or NU, and shows nothing for SK, NL and PE. Article was prodded, which has been contested. PK T(alk) 23:10, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - More in the nature of a directory of unrelated items, rather than a useful list. Better served by a category. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 23:27, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per Skeezix1000's comments. Also, as commented elsewhere, this would have hundreds of entries, at least, for any one province, and a better title - worth considering for a category - would be something like "Acts of provincial governments of Canada" or "Legislation of provincial governments of Canada" (not all are Acts, I think, as doesn't an OiC have to go through the Legislature before it's a capital-A "Act"?). "Canadian provincial Acts" seems very awkward.Skookum1 (talk) 23:32, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy. It's potentially viable but would be too long in its current form, covering all Canadian jurisdictions. A list of each Act for each State would be a better way of doing it. Ideally every piece of legislation in every jurisdiction would have an article explaining the history and effect of the legislation. Lists like this (or broken down into jurisdiction-specific lists) would then be viable. But WP is a long way from being there. Userfy it to see what the creator can manage. Expansion not deletion is the preferable course but this is just too far from viability at the moment to sit on the mainspace. --Mkativerata (talk) 23:55, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It's news to me that Canada has "States", but aside from that gaffe, there are simply far too many such Acts to be viable as any kind of list; Skeezix is quite right; this is far more viable as a category.Skookum1 (talk) 00:35, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Provincial categories would be more appropriate. --Me-123567-Me (talk) 01:03, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
