 * Delete. Expression of opinion is the purpose of the article, and the factual information is, indeed, covered in more detail elsewhere. --Gray Porpoise 14:00, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * (A) Yes (B) Delete per nom. Fails WP:OR, article title likely to provoke controversy. Tevildo 14:34, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, but I'm notifying the author and explaining. - Che Nuevara:  Join  the   Revolution 14:35, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete It's an interesting subject, but better dealt with elsewhere. Niall Fergusson has talked about this a lot, though the wikipedia rticle on him is a little light in that area. Artw 15:44, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: You mean Niall Ferguson? The article on Niall Fergusson is a little light on every area right now ;) - Che Nuevara:  Join  the   Revolution 16:09, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
