[edit] Sexual Victimization of Native American Women
Delete. I'm not disagreeing that the phenomenon exists. I'm just not sure it should have a page. This article leads with THREE (now four, actually) boxes: a POV tag, a cleanup tag, and an original research tag. And I think the POV and original research may be inherent problems with the topic. Some of the text can be included in rape or sexual assault or Native American, and the rest should be deleted. moink 00:33, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Merge Assuming it's not entirely original research, I'd merge what's salvageable into Native American. Chairman S. 01:59, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep problems with POV, yes, but I think there is enough material for this to become an article in its own right. Mikker ... 02:12, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Merge with sexual violence as linked in the article Ruby 02:43, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

- Comment to those voting merge: Sexual violence redirects to rape. moink 04:00, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, the title itself is POV. Paul Carpenter 11:59, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, essay dumped on WP. Pavel Vozenilek 12:10, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, WP:NOT a soapbox. Daniel Case 14:53, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Weak keep but make it NPOV and wikify/cleanup. --ʀ6ʍɑʏ89 18:22, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Heavily POV, should be NPOV'd and dealt with accordingly, could be made into a valid article. Thor Malmjursson 18:26, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Keep and cleanup including title if needs be Jcuk 19:12, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- Merge although not quite sure where to: the article (now) makes a good case for this being a documented problem, but it should be covered together with other ethnic groups and other socio-economic groups for context, since it's far from clear that the problem is inherently one of Native Americans, rather than one of poor folks. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C]

- Merge with pages pertaining to native americans, or sexual abuse, as it is highly inherently POV titlea as it stands.Blnguyen 03:56, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. The article is contaminated from start to finish with a unitary, non-neutral POV. Furthermore, it's been tagged for cleanup for nearly 3 months and it's no better than it was. In addition, the sourcing is general (works listed at end, no footnotes, no page numbers), making the task of verifying the sourcing and rewriting the article nearly impossible to perform in good faith. To the folks above who are advocating merge, or keep but rewrite: would you like fries with that? How about a pony? A magic pony that flies and belches stingless bumblebees? -ikkyu2 (talk) 02:58, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
