This article seems to be little more than a dictionary definition. It does not include any encyclopedic content and I don't see how the topic could warrant more elaboration. It should be moved to Wiktionary and deleted here. CapitalSasha ~ talk 02:11, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep - it is a close call.. Source indicates its existence and it seems notable. We need more input I guess.--BabbaQ (talk) 23:31, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per NOTDIC. The encyclopedic topic to be discussed is California's drunk driving statutes, which are presumably covered at Drunk driving and California vehicle code. That deuce is used as a nickname for these laws or violators of them is word meaning and usage – dictionary content. Cnilep (talk) 02:27, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Merge - While California Vehicle Code 502 has been replaced and supplemented, the jargon with peace officers and the general public, in California and other states due to crime dramas, still refer drunk or intoxicated drving as a 'deuce' even when they mean DWI. It is a term that should be at best referenced in another article like Driving under the influence. Jrcrin001 (talk) 07:05, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This article has more and different information than a dictionary entry. --Froshirt (talk) 11:17, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Driving under the influence. It's just a local nickname for the offence in one state. NtheP (talk) 11:24, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
