[edit] People's jury

People's jury (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

No references whatsoever (violates WP:CITE, et al.); tons of original research (violates WP:OR); poorly-written/-worded; biased (violates WP:NPOV); juries are covered in MANY other more-relevant articles (i.e. "Jury"). Mr. P. S. Phillips (talk) 04:41, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. This is a type of non-judicial jury that is being closely studied in the UK. The article needs better citations but I don't find it egregiously POV. The "external links" section is obviously the article's sources, and yes, you're not supposed to do it that way but give the newbies a chance. (The term is also in use in China now, for what looks like a kind of advisory civil jury, but that belongs elsewhere.) --Dhartung | Talk 07:49, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. Subject is a subset of Jury, just as melons are a subset of fruit. There are citations there, they just aren't in the 'references section'; that's certainly not a deletion argument, however, as that can be solved by pretty much anybody. As to the POV issue, I guess I just don't see it. Celarnor ^{Talk to me}

• Keep. A valid subject for an article, different from the jury article as explained by User:Dhartung. I think the POV issue is that both headings in the article are "Benefits of ..." - however, the problem is not necessarily the POV but the structure of the article and style of referencing used, which can be solved and is not a reason for deletion. --Snigbrook ^(talk) 10:58, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - as per above points.Londo06 11:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep I have reverted the article back to close to how I originally wrote it. It looked as though a number of contributors had been confusing People's jury with a legal jury. Hacve also added references. Matt Stan (talk) 19:02, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep notable. Noor Aalam (talk) 22:42, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
