Delete: Orphan, non-encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a political soapbox. andy 21:09, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • This is a prime candidate for Wikipedia:Managed deletion. Until then, we can do it the old-fashioned way. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 21:11, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)
  • Actually, it's a prime candidate for speedy deletion. In fact, I speedy-deleted it about 10 minutes ago, but it was re-created and vfd'd. DELETE - DavidWBrooks 21:42, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete it, it doesn't adhere to the guidelines. My fault.
  • Delete. Doesn't fit the project's mandate, doesn't even try. CJCurrie 21:54, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Original research. Something about this looks suspiciously familiar. Has this been previously deleted? If so, it's a speedy candidate. (If not, then it is definitely not a speedy candidate. See Wikipedia:Patent nonsense#Not to be confused with... bullet two - partisan screed masquerading as fact.) Rossami 22:01, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • It says right up front that it is a manifesto. It was therefore not intended to be an encyclopaedia article. As such, delete. Fire Star 22:59, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Original research; source text; "intellectual freedom movement" in quotes gets only 14 Google hits so it's not a recognized term for anything. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 01:17, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Speedy, since it was already deleted once. — Gwalla | Talk 20:55, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • If you are talking about DavidWBrooks' decision to speedy it just now, I disagree. A prior speedy is not sufficient to automatically re-speedy. If it went through the full VfD discussion, then you're right but I still can't find proof that it did. Rossami
