The result was redirect to Freedom of the press to avoid confusion; the preface in question is already covered at Animal Farm. Perhaps a disambig link from Freedom of the press is warranted, though the preface may not be notable enough. MastCell Talk 22:43, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

The freedom of the press

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. Subject is not notable enough for a stand-alone article. It does merit a section in Animal Farm -- and it already exists: see Animal Farm. Additionally, the link supplied as a reference apparently does not work. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 07:49, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect but to Freedom of the press, it is a notable concept which has preoccupied politicians and voters especially at election time. KTo288 11:21, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Just to clarify: We're not debating the concept of "freedom of the press," nor the article that addresses the concept. It's just this article about the deleted preface to Animal Farm that we are discussing. (If we ever discuss deleting the concept of freedom of the press, I'm in big trouble.) - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 16:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom; not sufficiently notable in context of the book. Shalom Hello 18:14, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge content to Animal Farm, but redirect to Freedom of the press, as the title really should go to the main concept and not to a preface discussing that concept. Alba 20:54, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect per Alba's suggestion. Bearian 02:12, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect as per Alba. Chubbles 19:07, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
