[edit] Martin Luther King, Jr.

Yes, the mighty reverend who engineered the civil rights movement is being nominated for deletion. I know this is quite a controversial AfD, but I feel it has to happen. Although the article is full of content, racial discrepancies can be a serious problem here, as well as copyright violations. The content here is quite useful - and moving it to Civil Rights Movement may be the better option than keeping this article. Once again, this nomination is a little dicey and won't likely succeed, but a point may very well be proved. --StedmanStang (talk) 20:57, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Speedy strong super keep First you admitted that this is to make a point. Secondly, you have the fact Dr. King was a Nobel Prize Winner, numerous places, streets, etc. named after him, etc. AfDs should never be used to make a point, period. Wildthing61476 (talk) 21:00, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Cool it, dude --StedmanStang (talk) 21:01, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Remember though, the tag says this article is being CONSIDERED for deletion. Therefore, it does not mean it will be deleted, so its not at all a certainty. --StedmanStang (talk) 21:04, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
I understand what an AfD is. I also understand what trolling is. See WP:POINT.Klausness (talk) 21:07, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Obvious, speedy keep. AfD is not cleanup; newbie editor should have a read of WP:DELETE. April Fool's day has been and gone. PC78 (talk) 21:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
