It's a catalog of the rights of nursing home residents, a sort of 'bill of rights.' Important? Yes. Interesting? Very. Sourced? Yes. But... I'm not certain whether or not it's an encyclopedia article. What do you think, o wise community? FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:15, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

- I think it is an encyclopedia article. A catalog of rights is something the public must know. And, the way I saw it, it was more than that. It described the rights -- in the way that many wikipedia articles do. Further, it contained a brief introduction of how those rights came to be. As such, it is more than what it seems you suggest. Also, if this doesn't exist, many nursing home residents will be abused with no knowledge that they are being abused or what to do about it. I say it should stay, and I feel strongly about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tonychicotel (talk • contribs) 22:35, 15 July 2010 (UTC) This template must be substituted.
- I agree with Tony. And, I think this is the kind of thing that should exist. People need to know their rights. This is the best use of wikipedia I could imagine. How could this possibly hurt? And, it could be quite helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JLowood (talk • contribs) 22:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC) This template must be substituted.

I don't really know to tell you the truth. But, I do see this as an easier to read (less complicated/prosaic) version of List of human rights articles by country. So, if that stays, so should this. Rosepicou (talk) 23:03, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
