Who sunk the Lusitania?

Wikipedia is not a place to put your essays. I would suggest merging this in with the Lusitania article, but that information has already been covered in that article. Адам12901 T/C 20:33, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Fails WP:NOT and WP:OR. Leonard( Bloom ) 20:37, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. You beat me to the prod on an edit conflict. Speculative, unencyclopaedic, violates WP:NOR and WP:NOT.  Cites "evidence" which is explained/debunked at RMS Lusitania - for example, the supposed forging date on the commemorative medal.  Mention of alphabetised "sources" suggests this is a classic example of somebody's history homework.   Ka renjc 20:44, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's a essay and entirely OR, nothing to be salvaged.  The same applies to the other articles that the originating editor has created. -- Escape Orbit  (Talk) 20:50, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete- Wikipedia is for encyclopedic content only, not essays.-- S R X  22:57, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete as frightful bilge. I'd give this poor marks in a child's essay contest. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 00:20, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Okay, I confess...it was me. I sunk the Lusitania! And I would do it again if I had the chance! (Really, do you want to hear another person talk about WP:OR)? Ecoleetage (talk) 00:29, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This is unsourced, someone's essay, and poorly written, starting with the title. For future reference, the question  would be properly be "Who sank the Lusitania?" Mandsford (talk) 01:53, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete A perfect example of original research. Edward321 (talk) 02:01, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination: original research, and does not answer the question proposed in the title. Damn you, Ecoleetage!  You beat me to my joke. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:24, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
