There is every indication here that the "prosecution association" doesn't exist and has never existed. It's a libertarian fantasy. No sources, no article. This one has persisted for over a year. BillMasen (talk) 22:52, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete sounds like a comic book fantasy idea. --Luckymelon (talk) 23:24, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - not a fantasy but a reality. See [1], and [2] as two sources that not only establish its existence, but cover the concept in detail. -- Whpq (talk) 16:31, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Based on the sources provided, it appears that such institutions did exist in eighteen/nineteenth century Britain. I have changed the article from present tense to past tense, since the sources only establish that they existed in the past. --MelanieN (talk) 22:51, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Whpq's sources are good enough for WP:GNG from where I'm standing. Alzarian16 (talk) 11:54, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
