[edit] Prostitution in Sweden

Prostitution in Sweden (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article seems to cover everything already mentioned in this article. It contains only three sentences, and anything significant in it not covered in the Crime in Sweden article can easily be moved over (though I think the Crime in Sweden article pretty much says it all).

• Delete per nom. Unnecessary and redundant fork; just a stub. A Redirect to the main article would be a good idea. Eusebeus 19:13, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. There are quite a number of "Prostitution in ..." articles. <KF> 21:29, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Special:Prefixindex/Prostitution in might also be useful here (I readily recognize that the fact of there being sufficient material to craft a standalone Prostitution in article with respect, for instance, to China, does not alone suggest that Crime in ought never to comprise the whole of the prostitution text [there are surely some countries/territories/states for which Crime in in sufficiently short and Prostitution in should be sufficiently simple as to counsel merging]; I mean only to suggest that there are even more articles of the series than the Special:Whatlinkshere adduced by KF includes).

• Weak keep for now. As there does seem to be some potential for expansion it would likely have been more beneficial to mark this article for improvement, such as with an {{expansion}} tag, to see if there is any interest/potential for expansion. I would suggest doing so, and if there is no improvement within a reasonable amount of time, like a month, renominate it under the valid premise that it is just a redundant fork.

• This is a stub, a legitimate one, but whatever... --Striver - talk 20:20, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

It is a stub, but the topic is covered much more in-depth in this article. I can understand keeping it and expanding it, but it would have to be expanded a great deal to warrant its own article when the information is already adequately covered elsewhere. --DearPrudence 23:58, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

I move the information to the more specific article, leaving a "main" template. --Striver - talk 18:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep whether prostitution is considered a "crime" is dependent on jurisdiction, it is unreasonable to expect people - especially those who may be from countries or regions where prostitution is legal - to be expected to find it in Crime in Sweden; the same for Homosexuality in Iran, Christianity in Saudi Arabia, Abortion in Ireland, Divorce in the Philippines, which I would not expect to have to look to those countries' "crime" sections to find out about these (perhaps because all those are legal in California where I live).

That's a good point. --DearPrudence 23:17, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

• Keep per above--Sefringle^Talk 06:12, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
