Nuns and Soldiers

~~Very POV with no encyclopedic content. Only a complete rewrite could fix it. The JPS 22:54, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)~~ Keep and expand after Rick's stub. The JPS 21:07, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

According to Amazon it's a classic. ~~Unless someone writes a real review, delete.~~Keep with RickK edits Fornadan (t) 20:37, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Make it NPOV. Then keep. --Idont Havaname 02:08, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete hopelessly POV. better to start over. carmeld1 03:12, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- The problem with that is that one of the criteria for speedy deletion is that if an article has been deleted before, it can be re-deleted on sight by an admin, without having to go through VfD again. So somebody might offer a great rewrite of this article, and it would still get speedied. That's why it's better to keep and rewrite. --Idont Havaname 04:00, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Surely, though, an admin wouldn't speedy a genuine article about this? The JPS 12:10, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  - Unfortunately, this sometimes happens. Thanks to RickK for starting up the rewrite. --Idont Havaname 19:21, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep and rewrite. Since it is a classic, then it belongs in WP. No point deleting the article if we are just going to recreate it and rewrite.--Fangz 03:17, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep per Idonthaveaname and Fangz. Xoloz 07:06, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The text in the article is one persons opinion - a signed, self review which doesn't even name the author. It is not in the slightest bit encyclopedic and must go entirely, and we don't need the history. Delete and list on requested articles. Average Earthman 09:56, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete not an encyclopedia article. JamesBurns 11:35, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I have pared it down to a one-sentence stub. Keep and expand. Rick K 18:56, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
keep. Kappa 10:25, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
