[edit] Animal rights activism

This article is very slight, and violates NPOV in its content. The bias of this article suggests that the majority of animal rights activists support activism through criminal acts. Rewriting this article shouldn't even be necessary, it can simply be redirected to the already thorough and much more NPOV animal rights article.

• Delete per nomination and redirect to animal rights. I haven't simply changed the article to a redirect because there is some content being maintained in it. Dayv 18:20, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect. Redundant and misleading. Agree with the nom. Devotchka 18:28, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Weak DeleteThe article is much more concise than the one on animal rights, but is somewhat redundant although it distills one facet of the animal rights debate into a readable article. Ultimately I think the animal rights article could probably do with pruning, at which point this definitely would be redundant. - Just zis Guy, you know? 21:45, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete As above Honbicot 22:25, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - the Animal rights article is getting long. I can see a role here for an article specifically about activism, as opposed to philosophy (etc) which is covered at the animal rights article. Johntex\^talk 22:39, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Delete. The whole animal rights issue is undeniably POV and prone to emotionalist cant from both 'pro' and 'anti'. If this article is to be kept then it should be a sub-section of animal rights rather than a stand alone. Eddie.willers 02:34, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Lots of things inspire strong feelings, that doesn't mean they shouldn't be covered. - Just zis Guy, you know? 08:09, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
