Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pigford

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy delete as violating WP:NOT, with the caveat to create a proper article per WP:LAW or to wikisource it later. Actual text cut-and-paste of a case is also potentially a copyright violation of WestLaw, of which we must stay clear. I've edited hundreds of legal articles here at WP, and this is the only one I've seen that literally can not be fixed. Bearian 15:24, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Some sort of non encyclopedic description of a lawsuit? OSbornarfcontributionatoration 18:26, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Looks like the actual court decision. Maybe Wikisource? But nothing Wikipedia about it...no claimed notability, context, etc. DMacks 18:42, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Move to Wikisource, or else do a complete rewrite saying why it is significant.jonathon 19:55, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Transwiki, I suppose, as it could be annotated or some such under Wikisource policy. Pigford v. Glickman was a fairly significant class action/consent decree [1] -- but there's little point to an article unless the original settlement is written up. --Dhartung | Talk 20:21, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
There is some background on the Pigford Claims Remedy Act page just created by the same editor who wrote Pigford. Alas, that page is a copyvio (tagged speedy as such). DMacks 02:38, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to wikilaw per dhartung (is there such a wiki? I didn't knew that)Victor falk 03:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as without secondary sources, it is non-notable copy and paste text. --Gavin Collins 22:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
