Recognition of Marital Rape in Pakistani Law[edit]

Long and elaborate essay, full of original research. Probably written for some other use, so possibly a copyvio. Was prodded by me, removed by creator (then prodded again, which I removed, because AfD is the appropriate next step for a contested prod.) gnfnrf (talk) 21:26, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is almost certainly a copyvio, and so the text should be removed, but I believe that the subject itself is notable enough for an article. I wonder if anyone is willing to save it. SMSpivey (talk) 07:14, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. I believe the problems with this article can be fixed by editing by somebody with a reasonable knowledge of the subject (i.e., somebody who has some knowledge of Pakistani law). As such, it should be brought to the attention of the relevant wikiproject(s), rather than deleted. I see no grounds to believe that this is a copyvio, other than that the style is not appropriate for wikipedia, which is really the only problem with the article.

On the point of copyright violation: please read the "introduction" that was in the first version of the article. Uncle G (talk) 14:49, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete soapy, original research filled personal essay. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 15:11, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - Obviously a personal essay but has a lot of research and information on a very notable subject Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 22:21, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The article appears to come from an external source but that source is not specified. I might change this !vote if the origin of the material is clarified. Looie496 (talk) 17:51, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I've removed the text of the article that seems to be copyvio/original research and am rewriting the article/adding sources. SMSpivey (talk) 22:23, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw Nomination. The article has been fundamentally rewritten, and while the new version needs work, it isn't a clear case for deletion. If it doesn't work out, such a discussion should be had in a new AfD, since nearly all of the commentary in this one is now obsolete. gnfnrf (talk) 02:59, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
