First Trade Union
The article is about..., um, well it begins by mentioning the Federal Society of Journeymen Cordwainers and claiming it is the first trade union in the United States. It does not make clear if that means it is the first trade union in the world (which the article title implies) or put it into any historical context. It then goes on with a couple of loosely connected sentences and ends up with a somewhat longer paragraph on what a trade union is, a subject which is already covered in the article Trade union, even though a little more on the origin of unions may be in order in that article. The page includes an image which is nicked from the website to which the article refers. The article author is likely very young, judging from other edits. / Uppland 12:47, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete if not moved and severely cleaned. Right now its a bunch of nonsequiturs and a dicdef. -R. fiend 17:56, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Topic belongs in a more general article. Wincoote 01:25, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, dictionary definitions, doesn't really merit having its own article at this stage. Megan1967 02:44, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
