[edit] Discovery Doctrine

Discovery Doctrine (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Completely unsourced, appears to be an essay of some kind, or other original research --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 03:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep but Cleanup Have you tried searching "Discovery Doctrine" on Google? Even a wikipedia article mentions it. Right now it reads like a personal essay, but it is a legit topic. —Mitaphane _talk 03:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment nothing here is sourced, if it can be cleaned up then great, but without sources it fails WP:V and WP:OR. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 04:03, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and wikify. Easy to find sources for this. It's a shame the articles currently blows though.

• Comment - Definitely a valid topic. Cleaned it up a bit, using some of the sources Wafulz pointed to. It definitely needs some more work, though. I'm certainly no expert in the field, so I'm not sure if I got the most important bits. -- Jonel | Speak 08:09, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and wikify per above. Wryspy 11:11, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Looks much better now, thanks for the good guys. Consider me a Keep now too - someone can speedy keep this now if they want. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 00:52, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, rewrite and rename [[Discovery (legal doctrine)]]. The doctrine is a well known one, and should be sourced easily enough. Ohconfucius 05:13, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - Rewrite? I just did... with sources... about two days ago... What is wrong with the article as it is now? And why the rename? The sources clearly use "discovery doctrine" as a phrase, sometimes capitalized and sometimes not, but the term is certainly used. -- Jonel | Speak 07:56, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
