The result was delete. Wikipedia-based class projects are a good thing, and something that we encourage. We are, however, first and foremost an encyclopedia. Any articles those projects produce must meet our requirements. There is strong consensus here that this one does not, for the reasons stated. You might want to read Wikipedia:School and university projects for some ideas on running future projects. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:54, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been largely cloned as Sex Trafficking and State Sanctioned Violence. I'm attempting to speedy that. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:33, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I would not mind working on this "class project", given a couple of weeks. I reached out to the creator, who did this for a class at a university in Maryland. It's not so bad as to be destroyed. Bearian (talk) 13:27, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
