A tag has been placed on The Freedom of The Press - Orwell's original introduction to Animal Farm, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

duplicate of article at The freedom of the press

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Accounting4Taste 04:45, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The freedom of the press[edit]

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article The freedom of the press, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:50, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of The freedom of the press[edit]

The freedom of the press, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that The freedom of the press satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The freedom of the press and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of The freedom of the press during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 07:49, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As I explained before, the article was misleading in its title, and the subject matter itself was not notable enough for a stand-alone article. It does merit a section in the main article about the book itself, but no more. The subject is well covered at Animal Farm#British censorship and suppressed preface, and is much more likely to be found there by someone looking for it than in your original article. All the necessary explaining took place in the AfD discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The freedom of the press. For whatever reason you chose not to participate in this discussion, but you are now whining about the decision later when the decision has already been made. If you have any further contributions to make regarding the subject, please make them in the appropriate section of the main Animal Farm article. This matter is closed. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:13, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Information about living people must be properly sourced[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions, including your edits to Eugene Scott.
