Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI/speech

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Misnamed non-article, orphaned, named as if it were intended as a subpage (which is technically impossible in article space), consisting only of an overlong quotation of presumably copyrighted text. Could otherwise be moved somewhere into talk space, if it wasn't for the overuse of non-free text content. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:59, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - copyrighted; removed from Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and replaced with an external link. The suggestion on that article's talk page, in the "Resignation address" section, that news sites have copied it, isn't enough, maybe their policies of fair use allow this; Non-free content doesn't.
