[edit] The Revolt of the Masses

Delete as essay. I did not try to read it. I made it to the point where the author states that it is an essay and placed the nom Bugturd Talk 00:40, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete / transwiki. It seems to be a translation of the essay La rebelión de las masas by José Ortega y Gasset. That is out of copyright, but the translation into english may not be. In any case, it belongs on wikisource, not WP. --Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 00:49, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to wikisource and delete - who wants to read a (possibly copyrighted) essay in an encyclopedia? And, even if it is original, it falls under WP:NOT - original thought. --M@thwiz2020 01:30, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia not somewhere where you can write essays. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 03:21, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Given that the book was written in 1930, it would still be in copyright. However, an article on the book would be useful. Capitalistroadster 04:40, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • That's according to US copyright law. I doubt the author was American. If he died more than 70 years ago this may still pan out. - Mgm|(talk) 13:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Transwiki/Delete. Translation of source material. Transwiki if it's really out of copyright. - Mgm|(talk) 13:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete... when will kids learn to use paragraphs??? Regardless of the copyright issue so at best it should be a transwiki and cleanup, unless someone writes an article about the essay.--Isotope23 18:26, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Aargh, my eyes hurt. Not sure if it can be transwikied if the copyright position isn't clear. --Cactus.man ✍ 20:19, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. It is a copy/vio from this site.[1] Couldn't it be speedied?--Pomegranite 21:46, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete: Prodego talk 23:06, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. per others. Arbustoo 09:04, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete.. Very long according to Special:Longpages; no links, and I see no reason to keep. Georgia guy 15:23, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete: Wall of text.
  • Delete: Way too long. Unecessary essay. Ck lostsword|queta! 19:11, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
