  • Keep - Canada abolished slavery before the rest of the world! That's notable - move the source text to WS if you like. --Doc (?) 08:18, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep This was actually Ontario, not Canada as a whole. Even so, it was news to me that it abolished slavery significantly in advance of abolition across the British empire, quite a notable topic. The article could do with cleanup to explain background to the act, explananation of its provisions to a non-lawyer, history of slavery in Canada as a whole. PatGallacher 11:02, 2005 July 24 (UTC)
  • Don't include copies of primary sources. The 1793 primary source material is now in the historical documents section of Wikisource. Uncle G 13:16, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep the new article. Pburka 16:17, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep per Doc glasgow. Peter Grey 17:41, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable. -- BD2412 talk 20:15, July 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep of course. For the third time today I will ask, What's this doing at VfD??? CanadianCaesar 20:34, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep I was a little hasty -O.K., a lot hasty. It seemed to me at the time that it was almost entirely primary source material. As re-written it makes a decent stub Dhodges 00:47, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand and should be linked from slavery. -asx- 05:42, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
