Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Parenting practices

Delete although the article is sourced, concur with nom. that it appears to largely be an essay on a theory of Annette Lareau. JJL (talk) 02:24, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as an essay. JIP | Talk 04:20, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Is well-written, but right now it seems to be an essay explaining a particular point of view. Although I am voting "weak delete" at this time, I am also tagging it for possible "rescue." 69.140.152.55 (talk) 04:46, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Wikipedia is not a howto-guide. Alexius08 is welcome to talk about his contributions. 10:33, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Parenting practices and social stratification in the United States and keep. This is not "original research" by our definition; the views expressed in the page are a synopsis of published research by an authority in the field. I don't see how this is a how-to guide at all. As noted above, the article is quite readable and clear, and is otherwise an excellent contribution. The problem is that the title "parenting practices" gives rise to an expectation of a general article about parenting, with a worldwide perspective: and this article is not that. Moving this to a title that actually describes its content fixes that. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:27, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
