Letter to the Falashas

Wikipedia is not a reprint publisher. The only content of this article seems to be the letter itself: this doesn't make an article. &lt;&gt;Multi-Xfer&lt;&gt; (talk) 00:32, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete--this is a primary text, with nothing secondary or tertiary about it (and I can't find any references that would make this a viable topic). Drmies (talk) 01:29, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per A7 - no attempt made to establish notability. - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:54, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wikisource per the candidacy template on the page. I'm not sure it's valid, but it's certainly an option.  -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 03:44, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wikisource per my nomination. A7 doesn't apply as we're not talking about organizations or people or web sites. MLauba (talk) 06:48, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * If someone wants to move it to Wikisource will they please do it... the tag to do so has been languishing on the page since May. &lt;&gt;Multi-Xfer&lt;&gt; (talk) 08:24, 29 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Transwiki to Wikisource: older versions of the article mentioned some aspects of the notability of the letter, and I believe this information was deleted. The article appears to have been an attempt to convince the Ethiopian Jews that their way of life placed them within Karaite Judaism.  If this is to be retained as an article, the text of the letter needs to be moved to Wikisource (which is a reprint publisher).  The article needs information about the rest of the correspondence and the letter's influence on Ethiopian Jews, European Karaites and any other relevant groups.  --AFriedman (talk) 15:27, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
