This is a mirror of a handbook on a government website. It's not subject to speedy deletion because it technically is not a copyright infringement. But see WP:NOTMIRROR. Bbb23 (talk) 18:40, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep. No reason given for deletion. None of the four points under WP:NOTMIRROR applies to this article. It certainly needs some work, including a proper lead section, but I see no reason at all to delete it. Qwfp (talk) 20:48, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. An admin (I forget who) once said that editors should eliminate "speedy keep" and "speedy delete" in AfD discussions. Couldn't agree more. "Mere collections of public domain or other source material such as entire books or source code, original historical documents, letters, laws, proclamations, and other source material that are only useful when presented with their original, unmodified wording. Complete copies of primary sources may go into Wikisource, but not on Wikipedia." (WP:NOTMIRROR).--Bbb23 (talk) 21:00, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
collections of public domain or other source material... that are only useful when presented with their original, unmodified wording clearly does not apply to this article. Qwfp (talk) 21:05, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
