This is probably copyrighted, but if it isn't, it should be posted at Wikisource. Little Red Riding Hood  talk  17:51, 8 October 2008 (UTC) 
 * Delete - It's inevitably 'copyrighted', since copyright doesn't need to be asserted in order to apply. AlexTiefling (talk) 21:31, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Clearly doesn't belong at Wikipedia, which is an encyclopedia, even if released into the public domain (which I doubt, and the author has not claimed). -- John Broughton (♫♫) 23:22, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and Stubbify. Remove the posible copywrite violation and keep the introduction.  The "segregation now" comment is famous and notable. JASpencer (talk) 09:17, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Since the intro is so short, I wonder if a separate article is motivated. What about just merging this into the George Wallace article?Bill (talk) 06:53, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as an article about the speech, which is easily notable enough to warrant its own article. Everyking (talk) 06:57, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Redirection now, redirection tomorrow, redirection forever! To George Wallace as he would say. MuZemike  ( talk ) 16:56, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep His speech is notable enough to have an article of its own. There are sources available which cover the background and history of the speech itself such as .  Sources can also be found for the impact and results of the speech .  Martin Luther King Jr. specifically responded to it in one of his own speeches:  --Megaboz (talk) 04:49, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
