Proposed deletion of Robbery laws in the United States

The article Robbery laws in the United States has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable. Does not pass WP:GNG

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — LeoFrank ^Talk 13:20, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

April 2017

Hello Lethalninja, the problem with the article as it stands (or as it stood before being turned into a redirect) is that it's just a rather context-free list of lengths of punishment. You didn't even cite any references; Wikipedia content should be based on what reliable secondary sources such as, say, scholarly articles in legal journals report about the subject. And you'll admit that some of those entries definitely need context to be understood, for example:

Arizona: Not less than 1 year and not more than 3.75 years imprisonment or not more than 1 year in jail - so you can't be punished by imprisonment of less than one year, unless you are punished by imprisonment of less than one year? Is that a complicated way of saying "Imprisonment of up to 45 months", and if not, why not?
California: 2, 3, or 5 years imprisonment - so it's either 3 or 5, but never 4?
On a more general note, do all 50 states use the same definition of robbery? If not, what are the differences, and why? What is robbery, under the law, and why is robbing a purse containing $10 considered more of a crime than robbing a smartphone and a golden watch?

Thus the article doesn't really give our readers a good understanding of robbery laws in the United States; it provides a list of data but no context, and no references to even confirm that data. It would need quite a bit of cleanup to become a meaningful encyclopedia article. Huon (talk) 19:37, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lethalninja, I agree with the points that Huon raised above and wanted to let you know that I moved your article to here (User:Lethalninja/Robbery laws in the United States) so you can continue working on and improving it. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Mifter (talk) 20:04, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, Robbery laws in the United States

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Robbery laws in the United States. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Title 18 of the United States Code. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Title 18 of the United States Code. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 20:30, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
