Delete: Orphan, non-encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not a political soapbox. andy 21:09, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * This is a prime candidate for Managed deletion. Until then, we can do it the old-fashioned way. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 21:11, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)
 * Actually, it's a prime candidate for speedy deletion. In fact, I speedy-deleted it about 10 minutes ago, but it was re-created and vfd'd. DELETE - DavidWBrooks 21:42, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete it, it doesn't adhere to the guidelines. My fault.
 * Delete. Doesn't fit the project's mandate, doesn't even try. CJCurrie 21:54, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Original research. Something about this looks suspiciously familiar.  Has this been previously deleted?  If so, it's a speedy candidate.  (If not, then it is definitely not a speedy candidate.  See Patent nonsense bullet two - partisan screed masquerading as fact.) Rossami 22:01, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * It says right up front that it is a manifesto. It was therefore not intended to be an encyclopaedia article. As such, delete. Fire Star 22:59, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Original research; source text; "intellectual freedom movement" in quotes gets only 14 Google hits so it's not a recognized term for anything. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 01:17, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Speedy, since it was already deleted once.   &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 20:55, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * If you are talking about DavidWBrooks' decision to speedy it just now, I disagree. A prior speedy is not sufficient to automatically re-speedy.  If it went through the full VfD discussion, then you're right but I still can't find proof that it did. Rossami
