Yikes. An attack page on a whole people. Wikipedia is not a propaganda machine (Author wrote "This article highlights the true reasons behind the USA's constant threat to the global world. Oil."). Even the title is POV. Much of this stuff is unrelated (compare rape rates to bombings). As for the bombings, we already have a List of U.S. military history events. Any redirect of this, to anything, would be POV and arbitrary. CanadianCaesar 03:07, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia's shock delete! Sdedeo 03:29, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Divide and merge the information into separate articles in which the data would properly belong. Sources for the data would have to be provided as well. I think this article needs to be cleaned up a lot, but not deleted. Some things in America's past may be shameful, but it shouldn't just be ignored. --TheKoG 03:43, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Shocking. Nobody is saying America's past is being ignored, but it doesn't belong in an article like this. It can go into various History of the United States articles in a more NPOV manner. Zoe 04:55, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. for the reasons already listed, plus I'm pretty sure that it is a copyvio as well. --Apyule 05:36, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I found a source for the article text, and have marked the article as a copyvio. --Apyule 06:10, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- While I find most unwikified, long articles with anon authors are almost always copyvios, I think that website is a Wikipedia mirror. Either that, or it's a source for a few other copyvios here. CanadianCaesar 06:13, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- You are quite possibly right about the mirror, it was just the first site that I found on Google. Anyway, there have been emails with pretty much the same content floating about on the net for a few years now. --Apyule 07:24, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
