Nominating on behalf of Dragonflysixtyseven, who says he has lost the habit of starting AFDs. Seems to be an examplefarm, laden with OR and synthesis. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 21:44, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Everything seems to be referenced, and I'm not seeing any OR. An important aspect of adoption that should be covered here. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 09:59, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It just seems like so much...synthesis, is the thing. It bothers me. DS (talk) 14:09, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing synthesis. There are international adoption scandals. This is a list of some of them. They all seem to be referenced. Just like lots of similar lists on WP, such as List of events named massacres, List of murderers by number of victims, etc. That's not to say the article couldn't be improved, of course.

Keep Certainly a notable subject that an encyclopedia user would refer to, and well sourced, with context. To the extent that it seems like synthesis, those objections can be fixed. Mandsford (talk) 18:29, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Looks like a good list to me. Well referenced and informative.Tobit2 (talk) 13:29, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
