This article contains a lot of over-simplified statements. it overly relied on the same sources, some of which were mentioned almost 10 times. It brings confusion in the wikipedia environment and diverts from the more quality contents present in every of the respective page above. More importantly, it is a duplicata with Drug policy, Drug liberalization, Drug prohibition, Drug liberalization, Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, Convention on Psychotropic Substances, United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances. This article should either be deleted or thouroughly reworked to (1) ensure there is no false information (2) ensure there are links and references to specific sections placed under specific headings, instead of re-writing something already present elsewhere on wikipedia (3) ensure neutrality in referencing. Importantly, the title is a gross mistake that is not acceptable in international law, these treaties are explicitely and very clearly defined, and they are not United Nations treaties as such, except the 1988 one. They are international treaties, which differes from "United Nations treaties" and if there is such an obvious mistake from the title, it is not a good announcement for the quality of the contents coming under it. Delete, merge, or substantially rework and shorten this article. Teluobir ( talk) 09:50, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

- NOTE: The article was massively rewritten by the AfD nominator immediately before posting this AfD request. Those edits were reverted with an explanatory comment. In any case, the version immediately prior to those edits, from the history, is at [1]. - Tsavage ( talk) 17:44, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: This article is in terrible shape, all right, and possibly could use a new title as per nom, but it's useful to have a single summary article for the four international policies cited in the lead. There are reliable summary sources mixed in with all the primary sources in the article, and the POV and duplication of other articles can be handled with a thorough rewrite. WeirdNAnnoyed ( talk) 14:39, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: The article's subject is the current international framework for drug control, which is comprised of a set of three UN treaties. As such, it is a summary topic distinct from the individual treaties. There are numerous aspects that relate to the framework as a whole, that are not specific to any one treaty, including administration of the conventions, how they work together, modification process and issues, and so forth. Academic works regularly discuss the three conventions taken as a whole ( [2], [3]). Particularly per WP:SUMMARY, arguing against this article is like arguing that you can't have an article about the human body because we already have articles for all of the body parts. - Tsavage ( talk) 17:24, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

- Keep per WeirdNAnnoyed and Tsavage. Agreed that the article needs cleanup and possibly a renaming, but it appears to have enough reliable secondary sourcing to satisfy WP:GNG. Sal2100 ( talk) 14:40, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Merge: This article should be merged with related ones about drug policy, which already cover the details of global drug treaties. This approach will combine content for better flow and fix the problem of redundancy.-- AstridMitch ( talk) 00:31, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
