[edit] Head of the household

No sources, No original research, hopeless etc. Created by the author of numerous AfD candidates. See also AfD's for Matriarchal marriage and Patriarchal marriage for closely related examples. Rklawton 00:33, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Very clearly original research and inaccurate to boot. 205.157.110.11 00:38, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. If this was an article about "head of household" as defined by the government on your taxes or something, maybe. As it is, no. So many unverifiable, unsourceable, speculative, and possibly blatantly wrong statements. WP:OR. --Kinu ^t/_c 04:29, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 11:36, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: While this article is pretty hopeless, I feel like we really ought to have an article on 'Head of Household', or at least on the social structure of a household. It's an incredibly important term in modern and 20th-century American life. Head of household appears the entry for Household, which simply redirects the user to House, which has no information on the social structure of a house. - Che Nuevara: ^{Join the Revolution} 15:14, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom; suggest making this redirect to household, where any census, government, or economic definitions of households and their heads would appear to be most profitable. Smerdis of Tlön 15:23, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete, unsourced claptrap. Who says all the children have the same last name as the person who makes the decisions? AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 15:43, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect to household, which explains the use of the term by the U.S. gov't. That page has been tagged for expansion along the lines that Che Nuevara would like to see. Rigadoun 16:17, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. The common term is Head of household , where legitimate for comments on social structure, and Head of Household for legal definitions such as in (united states) tax purposes. This term might redirect once of the other articles are written. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 16:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
