The result was Withdrawn per improvements. It's nice to see that every once in a blue moon, people who say "keep but improve" actually follow through on the "improve" part. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 00:29, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Very small, almost content-free "outline". Content is fine at relationship and almost 100% redundant. I see no way to expand this without being redundant. It was pared down from a linkfarm in 2009 and almost entirely untouched since. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 01:03, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

*Speedy Delete.The Wiki is not a dictionary (WP:NOT). Nor does the article provide verifiable (WP:VERIFY) sources of reference and or citation. The article appears to be original research of little notability (WP:N). An online search for the topic shows scant material on the subject nor does it appear to be obscure information of notability. This stub (WP:STUB) has remained relatively the same since 2008 (local date is June, 25, 2011). I would recommend WP:EAD :) . --User:Warrior777 (talk) 06:48, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge The article has undergone extensive revision since it nomination for deletion by Transhumanist making its relevance more clear. In its original form it was vague at best [1]. I get it. The Wiki however is not an index but I'm sure the content might be included elsewhere.
- Keep But rename to List of types of relationships. Obviously there is ample coverage about relationships. And this is a fine list article since it links to various other articles about relationships. Dream Focus 08:51, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - and please keep the title. This outline is part of the set of outlines at Portal:Contents/Outlines, one of Wikipedia's content navigation systems. The Transhumanist 09:10, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - the outline has been overhauled. Here is what it looked like before. The Transhumanist 09:10, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - the outline's scope includes all aspects of relationships. If the page is renamed, the content will most likely be altered to fit the title. That is, all the non-type sections would probably be removed by someone - those sections make up almost half the outline. The Transhumanist 09:10, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Delete - I agree with Warrior77. it's not properly verified and doesn't look like it'll pass notability.Bread Ninja (talk) 10:16, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It's a navigation page. See Portal:Contents/Outlines. The subject is "relationships", which is obviously notable. The words "Outline of" aren't part of the subject, they are just a format designation, like "List of" or "Index of". It's not an article about an outline, it is an outline article, about relationships. Outlines are a type of list, the guidelines for which are presented in WP:LIST and WP:STAND.

- Keep - per The Transhumanist - HIGHFIELDS (TALK • CONTRIBUTIONS) 12:15, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep article has been substantially improved since the nom by editor The Transhumanist. This outline format seems a most excellent way to present wide fields of knowledge, making it far easier for our readers to navigate than alternatives like cats.

- Keep - Looks like it was pretty bad before. Looks like it's not so bad now. Yay. Yaksar (let's chat) 23:35, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
