two french letters, no context, belongs in an archive not here Jac 16888 Talk 14:38, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to the appropriate place, probably French-language Wikisource. Ray (talk) 16:37, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. This was a prod that was contested, as usual, without explanation. I seconded the initial prod with the following comment: "This information would be great for an archive but not for an encyclopedia." KuyaBriBri Talk 20:14, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * On the contrary, a lengthy explanation was given. Uncle G (talk) 21:22, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Wikisource and delete. Ah, the American civil war.  I remember it well.  I was asked to translate one of these letters, apparently by the original author of this article. and I did my best, which was none too good; the draft translation is at User talk:Rochlafayette.  At any rate, these letters are historical source texts that belong at Wikisource. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 21:10, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Wait. I agree this is not an article and not even a stubb for that matter but given that the editor is new I would advise education rather than repression. In particular, the subject matter is just too obscure to be some random insert. It is likely to be of relevevance given some context. The letters were only translated this monday I say wait until the 16th. If in the mean time there is no improvement I will gladly move it to wikisource and delete.

Delete. I am the person who posted the letters. I understand now that they don't belong on an encyclopedia page. I'm waiting for administrators to delete it. Thanks to everybody who wanted to make sure everybody got a chance to weigh in with their opinion. I have no problem if it's deleted. I posted it on Wikisource last week.

 * Based on the above, I now recommend speedy delete as author requesting deletion (G7). KuyaBriBri Talk 04:26, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
