The result was delete, Cleared as filed does a good job of refuting the the keep suggested by ya ya ya ya ya ya in that Presidents make many speeches about policy, and also the fact that it is already on WIkisource .Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 03:02, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

George W. Bush's 2006 Immigration reform speech[edit]

This is already in Wikisource; this particular speech is not notable enough for its own article, there's almost no information in this article as it stands, and there's no point in even redirecting it someplace because it's unlikely that someone would search for this title. Recommend deleting. —Cleared as filed. 20:42, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

delete that's what wikisource is for. -Steve Sanbeg 20:45, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per Sandbeg. One of the Wiki sites has it already. --Nishkid64 21:41, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep Notable speech, much talked about in the media. An article's unsatisfactory length is never a legitmate justification for its deletion. Ya ya ya ya ya ya 22:28, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Every presidential speech is much talked about in the media; they've got 24 hours of coverage to fill. However, in the grand scheme of speeches, this isn't one that people are going to be talking about for years to come. A mention of the speech should be included in an article about the 2006 immigration debate, but there isn't much to say about the speech itself, other than its text, which is already in Wikisource. —Cleared as filed. 13:15, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. Definitely a notable speech which should be expanded not deleted. Deletion hawks at work again. Nlsanand 22:46, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. He gives lots of speeches.-Kmaguir1 08:31, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. as per Sanbeg. Also as per Kmaguir1. 3-4 speeches a day, 2920 days in office, comes out to too many articles most of which aren't worth keeping. This is a run-of-the-mill policy speech, it isn't the state of the union or the impromptu remarks made at the world trade center site with a bullhorn. I'm surprised, given the hatred for the man, each one of his gaffs (like calling Adam Clymer an asshole, or choking on a pretzel) hasn't been given an article so the leftist-Gore-won-in-2000-appease-the-terrorists-no-war-for-oil crowd can rant. —ExplorerCDT 03:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Also, ExplorerCDT, was that truly necessary? AfD is not a place for a political attack. Captainktainer * Talk 09:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or delete, I'd say. —Nightst a llion (?) 13:06, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
