Contested speedy deletion

This page should not be speedy deleted because we also have Corporal punishment in Singapore and Corporal punishment in Malaysia and these can give more detail about past or present practice in individual countries than can reasonably be included in the generic corporal punishment articles such as School corporal punishment. I envisage creating more such articles for several other countries including Thailand, South Africa, UK and USA, about which a great deal could usefully be said which is not at present on Wikipedia. This page may not be brilliant in its present state, but it contains valid sourced information and is certainly no less significant in real life than thousands of WP articles on aspects of popular culture, such as an article about every pop song, etc. Different people think different things are important. -- Alarics (talk) 08:09, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contested non-speedy deletion

This page should not be deleted at all, for the same reasons as I have given above. If we can have a separate article on every single one of the 2,500 railway stations in Britain (which we do), how can it be too trivial to have an article called "Corporal punishment in xx (country)" for any country where corporal punishment is or has been a significant practice? -- Alarics (talk) 07:27, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Approves deletion for Corporal punishment in Taiwan

Hi Alarics, with you contested deletion comments above, I believe that countries that have corporal punishment should only have they own Wikipedia article if they currently have JCP. You got to understand that NOT everything is accepted to have their entirely own article on Wikipedia. So if I was you, I would let this article to be deleted and focus on countries more like Saudi Arabia as they currently have JCP. Many Thanks, McAusten (talk) 02:47, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You pose a false dichotomy. We don't have to choose between an article about Taiwan and an article about Saudi Arabia. Why not have both? By all means start the article about Saudi Arabia. It needs one. But that is not in any way an argument for deleting this article, which is also perfectly valid. There is no reason why only countries that currently practise JCP should have a CP article. Wikipedia is also about history. Taiwan once had JCP, as I have included in the text. The information is properly sourced. Where in any Wikipedia rules or guidelines is there any justification for deleting this article? -- Alarics (talk) 07:04, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
