Comparison of the books: “A narrative of the life of Frederick Douglas, an American slave” and “Uncle Tom’s cabin”
If I can't write a comparative essay, then neither can this user. =) What I mean is, this is original research. Userfy. &mdash; J I P | Talk 12:30, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy or Delete. As per Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. --Allen3 talk 12:36, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete as original research. -- Francs2000 [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px| ]] 15:14, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy or delete. Arvandor, this is a fairly good essay, but Wikipedia does not publish essays. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. If some respected literary critic or historian had written a book comparing and contrasting writings about black life in the 1800s, you could write an article about that book. "Userfy" means that you can put this essay, or almost anything you want within reason, onto your Wikipedia user page. But it can't go into the main section as an encyclopedia article. By the way, do not try to edit out the tag saying the article is being considered for deletion. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:50, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or prepare for the onslaught - there are millions of books, and trillions of comparison articles (e.g. "Comparison of the books My Pet Goat and The Bible). -- BD2412 talk 03:22, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * How about "Comparison of UNIX Network Programming volume 1, Networking APIs: Sockets and XTI and Gone with the Wind"? &mdash; J I P | Talk 14:08, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd have to say "Gone with the Wind" sounds like the better choice, there. Or maybe The Wind Done Gone. BD2412  talk 14:56, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
