This is not an encyclopedia article about a defined topic — but rather an essay, written partly in the first person singular, advancing a personal opinion about what should be done about a social problem. The article title, for instance, is not the name of a non-profit organization that's working on the issue; it's a request to the reader. There's certainly a place for this sort of content on the internet at large, but per WP:SOAPBOX Wikipedia ain't it. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 21:01, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Agree on the soapbox issue. The author should take this somewhere else. ALH (talk) 21:17, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete An opinion piece. The title is not even a subject. North8000 (talk) 02:36, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Note to closing admin: you might want to look at some of the various edits the original editor has done. They've done some editing on various other dodgy-ish articles.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 10:15, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. An essay/opinion piece. As North8000 points out, the title is not even a topic. CtP (t • c) 00:37, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
