Looks more like an essay and includes no references. —>εϻαdιν ^ΤαΙk _{Ͼδητrιβμτιoης} 19:38, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

• Keep. I disagree with the user that has requested it is deleted. It is a new article and we can expect it will be improved soon. Most other countries have a article relating to this important subject. Why can't the United Kingdom have one?! This request is not useful in anyway to Wikipedia.

• I've restored the nomination tag since it informs readers of the ongoing discussion — Frankie (talk) 20:11, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

• Keep. The subject seems encyclopedic enough, and there are many articles covering it for other countries (see [1], although one of them is actually a song :P). There was an article for Smoking in England but it was moved to Smoking ban in England since the contents dealt only with the ban itself. The article doesn't have any references right now, but it was nominated not 20 minutes after creation, and it isn't unreasonable to expect that there will be sources available on this particular topic, so I think that this was a hasty nomination — Frankie (talk) 20:11, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

• Delete The article has to be judged on its own merits: what other articles exist is irrelevant. This article is completely unsourced, and, as the nomination says, reads more like an essay than an encyclopaedia article. It is debatable whether or not the subject "seems encyclopedic enough", but without a doubt this article doesn't. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:21, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

• Comment Why so hasty to delete wikipedia?! I will help develop this important page. Maybe you should look to improving an article before deleting it as wikipedia recommends Robjp21019 (talk) 20:25, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
