[edit] Redirect page

I do not believe there is enough material to warrant this article. Until NH has SSMs, I think we should redirect it to LGBT rights in New Hampshire. The newly created LGBT rights in NH article can probably better fulfill the needs of this topic without creating a stubs. ZueJay (talk) 03:40, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

It should probably actually be moved to Civil unions in New Hampshire, since it looks like that's a status that will actually exist, and there are similar pages for other states. --Jfruh (talk) 21:39, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
I agree. I originally created this page with the expectation that New Hampshire was going to pass legislation allowing same-sex marriage, but it appears now that civil unions will soon be legal. If somebody wants to take care of the move, I would completely support it. RFlynn26 23:38, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Fine. But I am bit bugged at the sloppiness of the enacted redirect - there were tons of templates, articles, etc that were already linked to the SSM article which you all failed to change when you created the redirect nearly two days ago - please keep this in mind when creating redirects in the future, it behooves one to check "What links here" and make the neccessary corrections. See WP:REDIRECT and WP:DblR.
Also note that significantly more information regarding this subject still exists in the articles Civil unions, Civil union in the United States and LGBT rights in New Hampshire. The information should be migrated post-haste, as well as changing the templates in this article from those of an SSM to Civil Unions. Grr - looks like I got my work cut out for me. I know you guys are thinking in the right direction, but I wasn't looking forward to working on this to such a significant extent... Bugger... ZueJay (talk) 15:26, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Passed legislature

The legislature passed already the bill for civil unions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.95.99.8 (talk) 23:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC).

Indeed, the bill did pass the New Hampshire General Court; however, it must be signed, or not vetoed, by the governor to become law and therefore a legally permissible binding contract in and to the state. ZueJay (talk) 23:39, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
