Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Same-sex marriage in New England
as mentioned by others the sources show notability for a separate article, as mentioned by others. SSM in NE is approx 17kb whilst SSM in US is about 46kb, so a merge will only create a sprawling article. Eventually someone would look at the merged article others are proposing and quite rightly think "Hey, the New England stuff would make a good article on its own, there are sources that support it, so lets split it out". I'd also note that the http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Same-sex_marriage_in_New_England&oldid=290061573 nominated version of the article probably only had , but the http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Same-sex_marriage_in_New_England&oldid=291187719 current one, is a big improvement
