[edit] Children in immigration detention

This is a POV duplicate of information added by the same user to Mandatory detention in Australia, Immigration to Australia and also contained in the article ChilOut. Delete --Peta 05:47, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• This matter is resolved now, as you have deleted most of the ChilOut article and I have summarised the information in Mandatory detention in Australia, Immigration to Australia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.12.148 (talk • contribs) 06:11, 29 September 2006
  • No there is still the problem that this article has no context and the information is covered elsewhere.--Peta 08:07, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete article (it should be "children in immigration detention in Australia") moving any useful references or comments to other articles as appropriate. Sockatume 18:09, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Parts of this article are either POV, or covered elsewhere. Plus Sockatume's point above. Lankiveil 00:01, 30 September 2006 (UTC).
• Speedy Delete Blatantly not in compliance with NPOV. MojoTas 03:18, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• I have removed any emotive words, and every POV point made is footnoted with a source (as per Wikipedia policy). I am currently searching for people and arguments which agree with the detention of children. If you know of any please feel free to add them. Children have specific problems as associated with detention, and should be treated separately from adults or from a general mandatory detention article. Children are specifically dealt with under CROC. The HREOC report that I refer to throughout the article was commissioned by the government itself. I have reported the government response, a two line statement, denying the report's 900 page findings. I came to Wikipedia because what has happened to these children is being systematically deleted from national memory. I thought perhaps here they might have a chance here.[[User:DabooksterDabookster 9.41, 2 October 2006. Please re-read the article and let me know what else I can do.
  • I understand the points you are making, and will make a few suggestions on the Discussion page for the article itself. However, a lot of this information would be better placed in one of the existing two articles suggested by Peta above. This isn't an indictment on your ability to write on this topic, merely a matter of housekeeping in the pedia. MojoTas 00:52, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to any relevant articles as determined by the closing moderator. (JROBBO 09:23, 3 October 2006 (UTC))
• Delete. Just a soap box article. Even the first sentence is incorrect - Lombok is an Indonesian island showing that whoever wrote it has no idea on the topic. Do they really think that Indonesia would take AUstralian asylum seekers? lol --Merbabu 11:49, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
