Plight of the common soldier in the American Civil War

This article is a high-school American history essay. It doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. Dgillett (talk) 07:12, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This subject does not warrant it's own article. Information can either be found or added to other more comprehensive civil war articles. Above comment also accurate, if the article is kept, it would need a HUGE re-write. Guldenat (talk) 08:38, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Fails WP:OR. Tevildo (talk) 16:06, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:NOT and WP:OR. Don't put school essays on Wikipedia Doc Strange (talk) 19:10, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per everyone else and as an OR essay. 1ForTheMoney (talk) 20:11, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete From the article: "10,000,000 men, however, died from disease..." which rules out any possibility of plagiarism. I'm sorry, but there were not ten million Civil War soldiers to begin with.  Thus, the accuracy of the rest of the article can't be taken for granted.  It occured to me that this may be a case of someone who never learned the  and < /ref > convention for documenting citations to the pages of the books listed as sources.  However, I can think of ten million other reasons to delete this article .Mandsford (talk) 21:18, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
