The result was no consensus. Opinions are sharply divided: Those who want to keep the article see it as a useful summary-style spinoff of the main article, whereas the others think it is indiscriminate, non-notable, and/or an exercise in advocacy on the part of Wikipedia. None of these arguments can be dismissed out of hand in the light of applicable policies or guidelines, and I see no argument that would compel deletion irrespective of a lack of consensus to do so (such as serious WP:BLP or copyright violations). This means that we have no consensus to delete the article, as a result of which (per WP:DPAFD) it is kept by default. Sandstein 18:31, 26 January 2012 (UTC) reply
I get that many people, especially around here, are very passionate about SOPA, but Wikipedia is not a soapbox, this page has no precedent (I can't find a similar page for any other bill) and is not on an encyclopedic topic. This should be merged into the parent articles – SOPA and PIPA – or deleted.
