[edit] Federalist No. 1

(removed speedy tag, nominating for afd instead). Complete text of the first of the Federalist papers. This is out of copyright and an important historical document, but its text probably does not belong in wikipedia. transwiki to source. See also the other links at the bottom of Federalist papers for more along the same lines. — brighterorange (talk) 19:11, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

• change vote to delete since these are already on wikisource. I'll change the links at the bottom of the federalist papers article. — brighterorange (talk) 19:18, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Update: it seems that some of the Federalist papers have genuine wikipedia articles, so I am not going to switch the links, assuming that each one can ultimately get an encyclopedic article about it. It might be profitable to stub out these articles, then, providing the link to wikisource (but that will take longer). — brighterorange (talk) 19:26, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, but turn into an article, of course. Frankly, there's little harm in keeping the current text until that happens, as it's long in the public domain. -- BD2412 ^talk 21:17, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, I've stubbified this one and will do the others that are just source material as well. Eventually I plan to put together decent articles on all of these. Christopher Parham (talk) 22:03, 2005 September 8 (UTC)
  • Thank you. I can now take doing that off my to-do list. ☺ Uncle G 03:46:56, 2005-09-09 (UTC)

• Keep, expand it, but it is most definetely an important historical peice, this is exactly the type of article wikipedia should have (not the content, but the subject matter). -GregAsche (talk) 01:06, September 9, 2005 (UTC)
