Historical Bibliography of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This appears to be an indiscriminate list of books about the American Board of Commisioners for Foreign Missions. It does not appear to have any encyclopedic value, as it conveys no useful information about the organization or anything else. Moreover, Wikipedia generally does not contain pages devoted exclusively to references. For these reasons, I suggest deleting this article. Dr. Submillimeter 18:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, serves no purpose for American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions article. References used there must be cited there, not on a separate page. --Dhartung | Talk 20:09, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, if this is a candidate for deletion, then most or all of the category of "Bibilographies by subject" should be, too. Bibliography_of_the_Penguin, Category:Bibliographies by subject. I just separated this out of the article American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions because it was more about how the items are archived. Brian0324 14:39, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Maybe this material should be summarized without the lengthy essay on archiving and placed back into American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions as a "further reading" section? (Note that an example of similar content is not the justification for bad content; the similar content often gets nominated for deletion as well.)  Dr. Submillimeter 15:12, 5 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - clearly an indiscriminate list instead of an encyclopedia article. Would agree that Bibliography of the Penguin should be renominated for deletion. Addhoc 11:05, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
