[edit] Balanced parenting

Balanced parenting (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

With not a single reliable reference giving primary coverage to this topic, it looks (and reads) like original research. The topic only gets about 800 Google hits, so it would seem to be a rather fringe aspect of parenting. A reading list gives no books specifically about the topic, only generic sources, so it would seem there is also a lack of published material on the subject.

  • Comment I wouldn't call 800 "only". All you need is two or three good references to make an article notable. MarkBul 20:35, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
  • You're comparing apples and oranges. In the context of other Google searches, 800 hits is paltry. VanTucky Talk 20:46, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge Even the author says that it's also called shared parenting. Mandsford 23:50, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep ghits depends on whats in the ghits, not just the count. In this case they are fairly substantial, and I do find some sources, [1] I also find books: "Balanced Parenting" By: Rabbi Raphael Pelcovitz; Dr. David Pelcovitz ISBN:1422600009 from Artscroll, a very important Jewish religious publisher, That's just from the first 80,DGG (talk) 18:52, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and Redirect. If it is also known as Shared parenting then this is just a repeat of that article and thus should be merged or just deleted. --BlindEagletalk~contribs 16:02, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
