[edit] Standing

Standing (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Ugh. Okay, Standing is identical to Standing (law). There is no point in having two identical articles. "Merging" them would still be the same thing as deleting one, since they are the same article. This why I am proposing deletion. Please discuss. Look at the Talk:Standing page or my comment here for more info. Arnesh 04:01, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

As I suspected. :) All that needs to be done, in that case, is to change one article to a redirect - no need to delete either. Tevildo 04:31, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename to "Standing to sue" and keep. A notable legal concept that is a big part of supreme court proceedings, the first test for any appeal is whether A: the court has jurisdiction and B: the appelant has standing to sue. Enough importance and potential information for it's own article, and merging into lawsuit would be a bit ungainly. It is well sourced, encyclopedic and discusses importance and origin of the concept. Might use a bit of expansion (into EU law and the origins in common law) but I see no possible reason for deletion under WP:NOT. Wintermut3 04:27, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge to existing article Standing (law) --Krich (talk) 04:28, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • I rather imagine that the "Reason" mentioned above is that it's a duplicate of Standing (law). If so, my opinion would be Redirect, with locus standi as the article and the other two as redirects. Tevildo 04:30, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
