PIRA Constitution

While Wikipedia has many articles on constitutions, Wikipedia is not in the habit of keeping full-text constitutions - that's the job of Wikisource, if anything. I recommend this article be transwikied to Wikisource (something I have no experience in, so I'm not doing it myself), then deleted from Wikipedia. If, and only if, this article were to be kept, it should be about this constitution, as is the case of e.g. United States Constitution, which is better done with a clean slate rather than using the actual entire constitution as a starting point. -Lilac Soul ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 08:31, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seems an easy transwiki to either Wikisource or Wikibooks, whichever is more appropriate (I too tend to refrain from the sister projects). No encyclopedia would have an article like this.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Comment I went ahead and tagged this to be transwiki'd to wikisource. Grandmartin11 (talk) 23:53, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a copyright violation. Yes, it's been reprinted in a few books, but they would probably claim it as fair use as being necessary to a critical commentary. Simply reproducing this constitution as a stand-alone document is not allowable as fair use whether it's in Wikipedia or Wikisource. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:44, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
