The Bartleby Project

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is a reprint of the afterword to the book "Weapons of Mass Instruction". While the copyright notice indicates that it may be "circulated without cost on the Internet, but only if used uncut and cost free", it would be better served on a site like Wikisource or quoted on a topic like Standardized testing. Here, it does not have any encyclopedic purpose. TheLetterM (talk) 17:36, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Even though the book gives permission to be circulated, the license might not be GFDL-compatible. Also it could be understood that the requirement for the text to be uncut might mean a partial reproduction (as is the case here) of the text is not allowed. Subject does not seem notable in any case. — Twinzor Say hi! 17:45, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - copyvio; terms of license are definitely not GFDL compliant. JulesH (talk) 18:53, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Regardless of the copyright issue, the sources are not adequate to show notability, and a Google search for "The Bartleby Project" doesn't find hits relating to the topic of this article (as far as I followed it anyway). Looie496 (talk) 23:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
