Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Parable of the Water-Tank

The Parable of the Water-Tank was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was transwiki to Wikisource. As of 17:00, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC), the article is still in the queue to be moved. Rossami (talk) 17:00, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

This should be up at Wikisource. Someone else listed it, but I stumbled on it earlier today and the user had been asked rather politely not to post such a thing. - Lucky 6.9 22:46, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * Move to Wikisource. It's lovely that we keep getting these wonderful submissions, but they need to go to the right place.  --Ardonik 23:19, Jul 16, 2004 (UTC)
 * Move to Wikisource: This one has an agenda, too.  Nevermind.  Wikisource, in case it's relevant to research. Geogre 00:26, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Said user has already contacted me and indicated he has no objections to moving to Wikisource. The next step is...? [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 03:46, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * I already have a login on Wikisource, and after reading your comments, I was going transwikify the article...until I realized that I don't even know how to create a page there. (There's no link to do it from the search!)  --Ardonik 07:44, Jul 17, 2004 (UTC)
 * I think that moving my page to Wikisourse will just create another problem. Wikisource has author pages, shouldn't all authors pages be moved to Wikisource? If you use a local author link at Wikisourse, then you have to use a back arrow to return to Wikipedia! Rather than force people to use a back arrow on their browser, I think my article should remain at Wikipedia until there is a policy for both texts and authors. I believe they both need to be moved to make everything work seamlessly. Stewjack 22:17, Jul 17, 2004 (UTC)
 * The whole purpose of Wikisource to be a public repository for primary sources, sort of in the spirit of Project Gutenberg (and there is an active discussion taking place right now as to what degree the two projects should work together.) Primary sources do not belong on the Wikipedia; encyclopedia articles do.  --Ardonik 04:47, Jul 19, 2004 (UTC)

This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like other '/delete' pages is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion or on the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.
