World War II letters from Atlantic Union College student soldiers

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The author clearly proposes to publish a selection of original letters. This is essentially source material and belongs on the college's own website. The tone is unencyclopedic. There is also a tendency toward Wikipedia is not for memorials violation. (There would probably be no kobjection to a separate, well referenced biography of G. Eric Jones.) &mdash; RHaworth 22:17, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete unless this archive of letters has been discussed in depth in reliable sources independent of the archive. The letters should be made available by the college for research by historians.  At this time, they do not appear notable. Cullen328 (talk) 22:30, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Userfy into User:DanLuis23? I agree with that has been said above. Some of the existing material would probably be useful to keep around for the author's other work. It might also be useful in writing a future article at G. Eric Jones, although the current tone isn't really appropriate for an encyclopedia. Melchoir (talk) 00:12, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom - there's no indication that this collection of letters is notable and the article isn't encyclopedic (Wikipedia isn't a repository of original documents). The letters themselves may be useful additions to Wikisource, but even that's unclear. While not directly relevant to this discussion, the article also contains some obvious factual errors.

 * Delete. Obviously created in good faith, but Wikipedia is simply the wrong place for this article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 00:51, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete and strongly suggest to article creator that this project would be better off on its own website. This is interesting stuff, but Wikipedia isn't the place for it. --NellieBly (talk) 02:39, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom: violates WP:OR/WP:RS/WP:SELFPUB, WP:NOT, WP:NOTMEMORIAL, and fails WP:GNG.  bahamut0013  words deeds 14:40, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
