[edit] Not a source

This list is not appropriate material for Wikisource, as it is not an original source. The reference states

The lists of convicts, pensioner guards, warders and other passengers presented on this page are an amalgum of information extracted from several sources. In the process every attempt has been made to correct the various anomalies, omissions and typographical errors which were encountered.

Noticed this page my be up for deletion. This is the beginings of a great resource, Referencing various sources of great use to historians and those interested in geneology in Australia KEEP Ghostieguide 05:57, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

• I note Snottygobble's claim that the list is not suitable for Wikisource - have you actually tried to put it there? Trouble is the list don't belong here - genealogy is specifically listed as something Wikipedia is not. Suggest put it on your own website or one of those mentioned in {{badbio}}. -- RHaworth 12:26, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

1. I am a regular contributor to Wikisource and I well know what it is for. This is not an original source and so doesn't belong.
2. No I haven't tried. Just because I could get away with putting it on Wikisource doesn't make it right; Wikisource is not a dumping ground for things you don't want on Wikipedia.
3. This information may be of interests to genealogists but it obviously is not genealogy.
4. This discussion is tiresome and pointless. I have merged the list into Scindian. Snottygobble 01:26, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

• The discussion is far from pointless - it is a basic question: does a list of people have any place in Wikipedia? I think it does not but I will leave it there and see if anybody agrees with me. -- RHaworth 06:45, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
