Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Use of Force Doctrine in Missouri
neutral). Arguing for deletion would be the fact that this article obviously came about as a result of the events in Ferguson, which makes it topical right now, but I wonder if the highly specialized nature of this article (being about one subsection (#046) of one chapter (#546) of one U.S. state's statutes) will meet standards of  after the furor dies down.  I suspect future traffic interested in the current events in Ferguson will start off at Ferguson, Missouri and then they'll click through to Shooting of Michael Brown or 2014 Ferguson unrest which will probably have been merged into one article by that point.  It's kind of hard for me to imagine the scenario of a user interested in learning about the use of force doctrine in Missouri who isn't interested in learning about it in the context of these events.   Arguing against deletion, is that the use of deadly force by law enforcement agencies is a topic that comes up over and over again in the United States, and the U.S. section of the Use of force article could be expanded to include a summary of the variation among U.S. states including Missouri, and referring to the AfD article via a {{Main}} template if that article became too long and a split was warranted. (Probably Fleeing felon rule should be merged into Use of force, too, but that's another issue.)  Arguing for a merge, would be that Use of force is not that long right now (14kb) and the content could be merged there.  So I'm neutral, with a slight lean toward MERGE if I had to pick
