wikipedia is not for personal essays -- The Elves Of Dunsimore (talk) 01:31, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

It would be nice if you could see past your own ignorance here and see that this is not a personal essay. This is a Manifesto that can further the impact made by mankind in a good way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UncleVisionary (talk • contribs) 02:11, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Yet another case of us needing a speedy deletion criteria for clear, unambigous and unsalvageable violations of WP:NOT. —Tom Morris (talk) 05:23, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. The issue here isn't that it's an essay or that we're ignorant. The issue is "how does this belong here?" Wikipedia is happy to be "ignorant" of all the exciting new things happening; otherwise, we'd end up having to sift through piles of press releases for barely known people to find things that actually, uh, belong in an encyclopedia. Go ahead and change the world; we're not stopping you! Wikipedia will record your change when it's done. It's not our job to be a medium for change and new ideas, but to record those which have received coverage. When the Envision Manifesto is well-known enough to meet our notability guideline, we will have an article on it. (an article, mind you! A neutral piece of text about it, not its actual text on its own, not any opinion on it.) Not before. sonia ♫ 05:35, 15 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete g11, I think this counts as advertising of this person's cause. NawlinWiki (talk) 06:18, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as told by Sonia. Article is clearly violating WP:NOT. 11coolguy12 (talk) 07:46, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a noticeboard for publicising new movements. WP:SOAP: "Wikipedia is not a soapbox... or a vehicle for propaganda, advertising and showcasing." WP:NOR: "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it." JohnCD (talk) 09:36, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete : I had earlier tagged article for CSD under G1 but was denied. However, this article is as said above by many violates WP:NOT also falls under G11, I think one the admins should closed this debate and delete is as per WP:SNOWJethwarp (talk) 09:40, 15 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Strong delete per JohnCD. This "manifesto" doesn't appear to exist outside Wikipedia. Not encyclopedic in any way. Yunshui (talk) 09:58, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as G11, blatant promotion of this person's own agenda. The fact that this is a noble cause does not exempt it from Wikipedia's article inclusion guidelines. If speedy deletion on those grounds is declined my !vote defaults to delete for the same reasons. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 14:47, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Today, the negativity, the dangers, the corruption, will start to come to the end.  Sorry, but I'm putting it off until tomorrow. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:01, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
