WP:OR, effectively unsourced/WP:SYNTH, POV title. Kleuske (talk) 14:56, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Sex trafficking as a section on racial disparity. I don't see that this adds enough to the main article to be worth standing alone unless a lot more work is done on it. As it stands, the article is more focused on race issues in sex trafficking than it is state violence, is entirely US-centric, is overly-reliant on one paper, and seems to describe the issues it raises as terrorism sponsored by the government, which should be deleted unless and until it can be heavily sourced.

Speedy delete A10 It's basically a clone of Prostitution and State Sanctioned Violence, also at Afd, with a slightly modified lead. The previous article was created just a couple of hours prior. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:32, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete - An AfD should not have been opened while there was a speedy delete notice on the article. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:40, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Beyond My Ken: I'm not at all opposed to a CSD, but I do feel obliged to point out that I first prodded the article (prod removed), then AfD'd it, then a CSD-tag was applied. Not the other way around. Kleuske (talk) 11:38, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - OK, thanks for that correction. Beyond My Ken (talk) 12:15, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yes, I occasionally speedy articles at Afd if I feel the Afd rationale has missed a valid CSD rationale and there's a chance to expedite things, trim the backlog a little. I'd say it works about 70% of the time. We'll see here -- the CSD tag is still on the article as of this morning. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:06, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      - The CSD may not be valid any more - Prostitution and State Sanctioned Violence was redirected to this page. If it's going to be speedy deleted it'll need a different rationale. Mortee (talk) 19:31, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        Unfortunately, this redirect was done by the article creator simply by blanking an open Afd -- which he or she has no right to do. So I've had to roll that back and issued a 1st level warning to this editor not to remove Afd templates, and to recommend redirecting (if they wish) at the other Afd. But I will remove my speedy template as there seems to be no interest on the part of the admins in taking that course. It's been on the article long enough, even taking backlogs into account.
