Article is incredibly biased. I see no way to easily salvage it. elektrik SHOOS 03:44, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - it's an encyclopedic topic, although the article that we have at the moment isn't very impressive. I'd prefer it to be titled The effect of welfare on poverty. - Richard Cavell (talk) 03:56, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I haven't finished it yet it's "biased" because I have yet to add in opposition. This is actually a controversial issue and uses different framing for each argument. CartoonDiablo (talk) 03:58, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You could have tried following our Wikipedia:Editing policy of improving a non-neutral article that doesn't include all points of view by including those points of view. Indeed, you could have followed the article creator's request that is in an HTML comment right at the top of the article. You nominated this for deletion just 13 minutes after its creation. Not only is that not enough time to incorporate all points of view on such a subject, it isn't even enough time to properly determine that there's no way to salvage the article.

Move to close, (with keep) as when I tagged it with Afd I wasn't aware of the article it came from and thought it was standalone. Though I will definitely keep an eye on it as it has potential to be a very contentious article. elektrik SHOOS 04:02, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
