1775-2005
fork of United States of America Bachrach44 16:51, 13 December 2005 (UTC) Comment: see also Articles for deletion/Political Story. sjorford (talk)  22:00, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Useless page, awful title. -R. fiend 17:00, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Eeugh! Someone more polite than I should consider taking this user under their wing and teaching them how to use Wikibooks or something.  Anyway.  The article.  Well, it's an unnecessary and unencyclopaedic (though I dare say interesting) fork, which incidentally fails to take into account the need for a geographically neutral POV (if nothing else, don't assume that everyone will immediately think "America!  Land of the free, home of the brave!" at the mention of "1775").  Don't forget to look at spinoff articles, like Political Story. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 17:33, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and also remove poorly-titled subarticles per fuddlemark. (ESkog)(Talk) 17:38, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, along with sub article Political Story. Utterly pointless. └UkPaolo/TALK┐ 17:54, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete This is overly broad, could be condensed into a list of Events in United States History or something like that. Otherwise this would be a very long article (and US history certainly doesn't just start with 1775, nor end with 2005).DeathThoreau 00:23, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete This is too generally conceived and broad. Needs a much more specific title, to say nothing of what's already written. Zaorish
 * Delete Too short, too broad, probably already covered Sceptre ( Talk ) 22:24, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Far too general, no scope for real imprevement. M A Mason 01:47, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
