No reason to keep around this essay—is there? For another chuckle, see this fellow's other article: Joaquim de Sousa Andrade. Biruitorul ^Talk 02:54, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, an essay not an article. Although the intention seems to be good. 76.126.9.65 (talk) 05:00, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:SOAPBOX. This is cleverly disguised as an article about a historical subject, but after you get past the introduction (which drops Simon Bolivar's name and talks about the OAS, but has nothing to do with a "Union of the Three Americas"), it's something of an argument that there should be something in North, Central and South America analogous to the European Union. And no, it can't be saved. "Union of the Three Americas" is purely the invention of the article's author. No merge, no redirect, not even worth a mention in Pan-Americanism. Adios, au revoir, adeus, goodbye. Mandsford (talk) 14:26, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Agree with Mandsford... the idea of Pan-Americanism has been around for a while and deserves an article... but this definitely isn't it. Blueboar (talk) 02:11, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
