[edit] Vietnam Veteran Anti-War Propaganda

Vietnam Veteran Anti-War Propaganda (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Prod contested. More of an essay than an article. A handful of facts mentioned have references (including two WP self-refs), but most of the text doesn't (and is mostly interpretations, hence WP:OR), and reads more like an op/ed piece, reminiscence, or school paper than an encyclopedic article. Title, beyond being mis-capitalized, also seems to have WP:POV problems. Ravenna1961 05:59, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Keep Seems a clean-up problem rather than a deletion problem. The topic seems eminently notable, though the article is a nightmarish mess, this seems like it could become a well referenced, neutral article some day. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 06:03, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. This is an uploaded essay and despite the title is essentially an article about the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, with (unintentional, but probably unfixable) WP:POVFORK-ish overtones. No redirect, it's an unlikely search phrase. --Dhartung | Talk 06:48, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete As Dhartung stated, it's essentially a POV fork. If someone were to try to make the subject into a worthwhile article, it would probably have to be rewritten from scratch and titled differently anyway, so I see no reason to keep this. Sχeptomaniac^{χαιρετε} 16:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Were it not for the Vietnam Veterans Against the War article, I would agree with Jay that there would be a need. This looks like term-paper-cruft, history rewritten, probably by someone born in the 1980s Mandsford 02:17, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above.Biophys 02:49, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per Mandsford. Changed vote from above. Good catch. No need for duplicate articles... --Jayron32|talk|contribs 05:41, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Not worth much. Not worth anything, really. 12.118.190.10 (talk) 03:06, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
