[edit] Why this page should not be deleted
I think that an 18th century slave brave enough to lead other slaves in an organised runaway, who paid for it with his life, and who has a still existant town named for him already for two centuries, amply deserves to have a Wikipedia page. It is of obvious interest to people interested in the history of slavery and in early American history, also in the history of Spanish colonilaism (since it was a Spanish colony then). I am a little bit surprised that there is even a need to argue about whether or not it is of interest. I have taken the information avaiable in the Saint Malo, Louisiana page and made of it a stub, it contians the basic facts of his life and death and I think this is quite enough to make a resepctable stub (I saw quite a few stubs in Wikipedia with far less information, which were NOT deleted). When I have time I intend to search for more information about him and extend the page. Andreas Kaganov 11:55, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
