[edit] Jericho Speech

Jericho Speech (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

It's not an article, it's just the text of a speech. There's a possible copyright concern, since it was lifted wholesale from the website attributed in the article, but one could easily argue that public speeches by heads of state aren't protected by copyright. Ignoring that, though, doesn't some part of WP:NOT say that Wikipedia isn't a repository for speeches? adavidw 04:07, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete as Copyvio of [1]. If memory serves me, this is not the first time I've seen this article speedied - can the closing admin check this and possible salt this if that's the case. Thanks... SkierRMH 06:30, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
