[edit] Mother of the bride

Mother of the bride (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Wikipedia is not a "how to" manual. I guess an article could be written about 'mother of the bride', but this isn't it, and it wouldn't be a good idea to leave this until someone replaces it with something else. JoanneB 18:39, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as this is a prime example of what Wikipedia is not. Nom is right in that this needs to go until someone is prepared to write a proper Mother of the bride article that is not so US/UK centric. Nuttah68 18:46, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia is not a "how-to" manual. The article is certainly one. Natl1 (Talk Page) (Contribs) 19:09, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and send to WP:RA. --N Shar 19:35, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: Would almost pass a speedy as no context, but not quite. As it is, it certainly fails WP:NOT, WP:OR and WP:V. To be fair, the article is completely POV. J Milburn 20:16, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to Mother-in-law: Since that's what a mother of the bride is.--SeizureDog 20:27, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and redirect per SeizureDog, unlist from VfD. Pavel Vozenilek 22:25, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• delete Poorly written. No WP:RS and all WP:OR --Sefringle 06:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Expectations of the mother of the bride will vary from one culture and country to another, and this one does not say whether it describes Greek-Americans, Bengali Brits or Hong Kong Buddhists! Therefore do not send to WP:RA; even a whole series of articles on this particular role around the world is not desirable (although a series on marriage and wedding customs in different cultures might be good). Do not redirect to M-in-Law either - this title describes a role for an event, whereas that is a lasting relationship. - Fayenatic london (talk) 18:20, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
