[edit] Wrongful abortion

User 24.17.46.62 (talk · contribs) added the {{vfd}} tag to this article earlier today. I'm just completing the nomination, so no vote. - ulayiti (talk) (my RfA) 12:48, 3 September 2005 (UTC) Actually, I'll vote keep in light of the debate below. - ulayiti (talk) (my RfA) 11:57, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: If the term can be referenced with more than just one source I do think its notable. Marskell 13:57, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete a neologism in a single journal article isn't notable. Dunc|☺ 14:40, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Neologism unencylopedic and uninformative.--Tznkai 15:16, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. Google indicates this appears to have been the topic of court case in Georgia, US and may have caused a bit of a stir. I'll leave it to legal-eagles and locals to determine whether this was just a media flap in a locality or a case of some significance. If kept, sourced and cleaned, it might be best off with a merge to abortion. -Splash 18:14, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep; a legal term of definite interest and at least some currency. More sources, as always, are better. Sdedeo 21:36, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Reluctant keep. It seems to be a legal term in the state of Texas. See http://www.tcdla.com/leg/docs/78th_review.pdf - note it's a .pdf file. Zoe 22:37, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, the counterpart to wrongful birth. There have been numerous abortions due to equivocal triple test results that lead to the termination of a healthy foetus. JFW | T@lk 07:49, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
• Conditional Delete. If it is a legal term, then an entry/re-direct for such a term would indeed be appropiate and welcome. However, as this page is now, it is a highly POV entry, based on one, from what I understand, not very well-known source with an uncommon definition/interpretation of the term. I'll try to go over it later to see if there is something salvagable, but I think that I know too little on the subject and term to produce anything worth keeping. --kissekatt 02:46, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This appears to be a legal term, so this article must be expanded, cited, ect...Voice of All(MTG) 07:20, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. This is indeed a legal concept. The mirror image of wrongful birth/wrongful life. There are only few notable academic sources because the legal discussion is relatively new. But it is not merely a neologism. Please do not let laymen determine the worth of professional terms. 132.74.99.84 13:23, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Add some references and links to other articles. This is a Community Portal Wikify article. --Banana04131 18:22, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

I've really re-written the article. I think this is a default to keep but we'll need an admin. --Banana04131 20:17, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep I added one reference, but I'm sure there are more Dr.Genius 23:16, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
