Rights of older persons in India

Unencyclopedic. The article's main aim is to bring awareness to aged citizens of India about their rights. It also fails WP:N. — Abhishek ^Talk 14:48, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Elder law in India is a subject that could support an article, I think. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:55, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete due to copyright concerns. As a topic, this is viable, and probably better under a different title as pointed out above. However, this article appears to have been assembled by copying or closely paraphrasing bits and pieces of material grabbed off the web. The article veers from well formed high level of writing in English, to parts which are much less so. Look at the snippet "Surveys have found that every 6th person living in urban areas in the country does not get proper food, every third old person does not get proper medicine or health care in old age and every second old person does not receive due respect or good treatment from family member or society." and compare to this. Material also appears to have been lifted from this, and also paraphrased from here. -- Whpq (talk) 15:24, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As noted above, this is likely an encyclopediatic subject; however, given the way the article is at the moment, it needs to be blown up and started over. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 19:55, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Whpq. Actually i want to help, but sorry, Whpq have a point there, why don't the creator make it encyclopedic? Ald™ ¬_¬™ 18:50, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Tagged for rescue. As stated above, this is a potentially valuable encyclopedic topic. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 10:36, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The article needs copy-editing and rewriting, but appears to be quite salvageable. I've begun the process of rewriting this article. Northamerica1000 (talk) 00:15, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Moving this article to the title, "Elder law in India" would be a more precise title to use. Northamerica1000 (talk) 17:49, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I Googled various things from the article to check, and I don't see any copyright problems at all. This is obviously a notable topic and has valid content in it. Finding coverage to verify and reference the various sections of it should not be a problem at all. I'll get to work on it now. Dream Focus 23:22, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep needs work, probably by someone with knowledge of Indian law, but certainly salvageable. Stuartyeates (talk) 05:51, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename - Per in the article: U.N. source, Government of India source and The Hindu source. Rename to: "Elder law in India". Northamerica1000 ^(talk) 07:00, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename This is definately salvageable, could be rewriten and turned into a proper artical, but a rename might be good, "Elder law in India" sounds right. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 18:16, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Delete unless it gets some serious repair work, but that seems to be coming, so ... Clearly an encyclopedic subject (agree with the rename proposal) but would need to be significantly rewritten - right now it seems more like an essay about a noble cause than an encyclopedic coverage of elder law. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 04:21, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I've significantly cleaned up and copy-edited the article. Northamerica1000^(talk) 02:53, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The parts with original research can be removed, and the article can be moved to Elder law in India or Elderly care in India. Northamerica1000 (talk · contribs) seems to have edited the article to address the copyright concerns. utcursch | talk 12:18, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
