Was tagged speedy as an essay, which is not a speedy criteria - could be copyvio but I can't find a source - anyway, doesn't read llike an article, the topic is probably encyclopedic but will have to be rewritten from scratch. Carlossuarez46 22:28, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Without being able to look at any of the references, this looks entirely like original research. i said 05:15, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per the nomination. Possibly a copyvio but without a doubt this is original research.  Burntsauce 21:57, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete probably not a copyvio, probably not original research, but it looks like someone's term paper that got a gold star from the teacher. "This article will look at the reasons why the military in most of Latin America still retain substantial power, and suggest what this augurs for the likely projection of the problem..."  I'm afraid that the bibliography at the end isn't very impressive.  Learn what a footnote is...  Mandsford 00:55, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. This could definitely has the makings of a respectable article, and the subject certainly is encyclopedic. The referencing and bibliography issues is really just one of wikifying and general improvement. I am worried that this is a copyvio, but I suspect one could just ask the creator - it seems unlikely that anyone but the original author would care enough to post it here. We shouldn't be insulted by sloppy seconds... it's all Free. --136.223.3.130 20:04, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
