General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Looks pretty good to me - most everything's cited, article is new enough, hook is interesting. Just one issue to fix and it should be good to go. LivelyRatification (talk) 07:38, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a source for the bill being introduced. Steelkamp (talk) 08:53, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This page should be renamed Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2019

[edit]

This page is functionally a page about the specific law: Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2019.

The other pages in this area which are about specific laws, they are named after the specific law

For the purposes of uniformity, this page should be renamed Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2019 DotCoder (talk) 00:58, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. The article is about voluntary assisted dying in Western Australia in general. The background section does not relate to the specific law. If a new voluntary assisted dying act is passed in the future, it would be included here. Not to mention that the current title is better for recognisability and naturalness, which are part of the article title criteria. If you want to move the article, I suggest making a requested move, and we can have a more formal discussion with more people there. Steelkamp (talk) 02:59, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I have created a formal move request, and I have explained why I think you're wrong. DotCoder (talk) 23:30, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A history/background section is perfectly reasonable to have in a page about a specific law - that is the case for Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006, Aliens Deportation Act 1948, Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2021.

Oppose - Back to front - agree with Steelkamp - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_titles#Deciding_on_an_article_title - in the case of the names of the acts, the consistency issue is more likely for the other articles named, to change to incorporate states names.
