Sovereignty of the United Nations[edit]

A personal essay, not an encyclopedia article. Ecoleetage (talk) 02:32, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, should be discussed instead at main article United Nations, but no need for a merge or redirect here. Cirt (talk) 03:41, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, this article is by respected early contributor Ed Poor (talk · contribs) (though touched up by others, it remains in essentially the condition he left it). This is clearly an important and thorny topic that cannot possibly be sufficiently addressed by the main article. This should be sourced and expanded. --Dhartung | Talk 03:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge relevant content into United Nations. I'm not sure that this deserves its own article because it is not that elaborate of an issue. But the content can certainly be merged into that of the UN because it is relevant. Happyme22 (talk) 05:23, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as the article fails to provide a source, 3 years on, for the assertion that the UN might have any "sovereignty" at all. Insofar as it is sourced, it duplicates the existing article on "United States and the International Criminal Court". WillOakland (talk) 06:25, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The fact that the author is a "respected early contributor" is not only no reason to keep, it just goes to show how much standards have changed since 2005. There was a time that Wikipedia would take just about anything, and this dates from that time. I imagine that, like the rest of us, Mr. Poor has developed a writing style that keeps up with Wikipedia's expectations. He may even have forgotten this early contribution.

Delete and merge where appropriate It is essentially an essay. While it is an issue that is bound to cause the US more indigestion in the future, this is not the place to explore it's intricacies and ramifications. The dispute between the US and the ICC is covered at United States and the International Criminal Court. Cheers Dloh cierekim 00:12, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (sorry Ed) This is an essay about the issue of how much "sovereignty" the UN should have, but not an encyclopedia article about what it does have. Both topics should be covered in United Nations instead. Steve Dufour (talk) 22:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: unsourced WP:OR, and conflates the United Nations with the International Criminal Court. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk 16:35, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
