Reactions by world leaders to the death of Ronald Reagan[edit]

Basically nothing but a bunch of quotes. Maybe move to Wikiquote? Rick K 19:38, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

Merge with Ronald Reagan. World leaders reacted to his death precisely because of who he is; the reaction is inseparable from the man. -- 8^D ^gab 20:30, 2005 Apr 19 (UTC)
- Please do not merge. That's what we have Wikiquote for. Rick K 22:49, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
Delete or merge with Wikiquote: Ronald Reagan if it's okay to have quotes about the person on that person's Wikiquote page as opposed to quotes by the person. This page, even if it consists only of quotes attributed to specific leaders, is going to be pretty POV. The introductory paragraph is already extremely POV, implying as it does that Reagan contributed to "winning the Cold War". And anyway, a list of quotes isn't encyclopedic, even if it were NPOV. --Angr/_comhrá 21:15, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Wikiquote and delete. Gazpacho 22:59, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete unencyclopedic. —Sesel wa 23:28, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. The article offers a significant snapshot of how different world leaders reacted to an event, it is of historical value, and contains more than just quotes so just a wikiquote would result in the loss of information. Moreover, articles like this exist elsewhere on wikipedia, see List of war apology statements issued by Japan. Combuchan 01:11, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Wikiquote and delete. What info that isn't quotes are POV or covered in the main Ronald Reagan article. --drew1718 02:21, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, POV. There is really not a lot in regard to the quotes that could be kept or merged. Megan1967 05:38, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Straight delete because I don't think these kinds of comments meet the goals of Wikiquote. The "reactions of world leaders" should be discussed in the Ronald Reagan article but do not need quotes to do so. Rossami (talk) 05:39, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Wikiquote sounds like a reasonable plan, although I have some worries about the transwiki system being in a perpetual traffic jam. Sjakkalle 07:42, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Transwiki to Wikiquote and delete. I'll keep an eye out for it in Wikiquote's transwiki space. We can decide how we want to process it over there (and in fact are already talking about it). — Jeff Q (talk) 10:37, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- As far as whether the article meets Wikiquote goals, the WQ community should decide this, so transwiki-ing it would give us a chance to do so. — Jeff Q (talk) 11:09, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Transwiki to Wikiquote. My understanding is that WQ articles can contain also quotes about a person. jni 10:57, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Transwiki. Let the other project decide if it wants it, we don't know what their standards are. Rmhermen 14:53, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
Transwiki. Merge relevant content to Ronald Reagan and Death and state funeral of Ronald Reagan. --Idont Havaname 15:18, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Transwiki to wikiquote and delete. I'm not sure all of it should be moved, but they appear to have already volunteered to sort it out there. --MikeJ9919 00:27, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete before we start having lists like Reactions to President Bush's speech on April 27th, 2005 and Reactions to the Braves Cardinals game on April 30
