The cited reason "provides only a dictionary definition of term" is not true, I've begun an encyclopedic coverage by discussing the 9th circuit decision in July 2016. ScratchMarshall (talk) 19:09, 19 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

@ScratchMarshall: - "Family detention is when family members are detained together". That's all the information this article gives. The court case does not discuss family detentions, it discusses releasing children held by immigration. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 20:02, 19 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Held by immigration... in family detention:

"child migrants who are accompanied by a parent and currently in family detention should be quickly released."

It's pretty commony for articles to begin by defining the idea of a topic before going on to discuss that topic. ScratchMarshall (talk) 20:05, 19 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Family Detention Practices in the International Context, from the Women's Refugee Commission.--Pharos (talk) 04:49, 20 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

This article was moved from Family detention to Family immigration detention in the United States in June 2019 as almost all the material in the article pertained the USA. While the intent of the move was to allow for building a global article in the future, I am not sure such an article necessarily has global scope. The phenomenon of "Family detention" seems to be confined to immigration detention policies of just a few countries, such as the USA and Australia. While other countries do have immigration detention facilities, they are more orientated to detaining individuals, not whole families. Other countries tend to have refugee camps where displaced people settle while they are displaced into in a foreign country, generally because food and shelter are provided by aid agencies in those locations. Aside from immigration reasons, no country appears to detain whole families, except at times of war when families believed to pose a security risk were detained in some countries. Consequently, I intend removing the banner for WikiProject Globalization, unless its retention can be justified, as I believe it no longer applies to this article. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 01:09, 9 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
