This appears to be primarily a how to guide (and Wikipedia is not meant for such things), and focused on a document that exists in a single jurisdiction that does not appear to rise to sufficient notability. Nat Gertler (talk) 13:49, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

- Keep - WP:AfD is not meant to debate poor articles that can be fixed with the normal editing process. This a form used in [http://nycourts.gov/courts/index.shtml 13 city courts] and the five boroughs' Supreme Courts, in a city of 8 million people that is so great, you have to say it twice. :-) Seriously folks, let me fix it up a bit before it is blown up.

- Question I checked google books and google scholar and found several uses of the "certificate of disposition" which define the term. See [http://books.google.com/books?id=4PnUTkdqRRkC&pg=SA4-PA21&dq=%22certificate+of+disposition%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=-sHcUe6jAvj94APY8YGAAg&ved=0CEsQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=%22certificate%20of%20disposition%22&f=false][http://books.google.com/books?id=nE-LOacAorkC&pg=PT774&dq=%22certificate+of+disposition%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=-sHcUe6jAvj94APY8YGAAg&ved=0CEEQ6AEwAg][http://law.campbell.edu/lawreview/articles/29-2-203.pdf] Is this adequate notability for a Wikipedia article? Or should this be more appropriate for wiktionary?--Nowa (talk) 02:19, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
::The sources you identified show that there is some material out there to improve this article (beyond having a wiktionary entry, perhaps). See also [http://www.justice.gov/eoir/vll/intdec/vol21/3275.pdf In re Pedro Aricio Pichardo-Sufren] (mentioned in the third reference you indicated) which discusses such a certificate of disposition:
:::"The only document offered into the record to prove the respondent’s deportability under section 241(a)(2)(C) of the Act was a “Certificate of Disposition,” a document issued by the criminal court indicating that the respondent was charged, pled guilty to, and was convicted of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree."
::The California Penal Code also uses this term [http://law.onecle.com/california/penal/11116.7.html], which seems to have the same meaning as in NY. --Edcolins (talk) 21:36, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
:::OK, I tend to err on the "keep" side, but I thought I would raise the issue.--Nowa (talk) 23:12, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
- Keep, good deal of secondary source coverage, enough for a nice quality improvement project potential on this article. — Cirt (talk) 22:34, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
