Declaration of Principles of the Interstellar Alliance
As much as I love B5, this page is probably a copyvio. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:27, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment on copyvio: The Copyrights page lists the four criteria for fair use, and mentions that the Wikiquote response to the first two would always be the same. So let's consider criteria 3 and 4:
 * the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
 * the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.


 * Relative to the entire B5 work (or even relative to one episode), the Declaration is not overlarge. And printing the declaration here will by no means decrease the potential market for B5. --Ubiquity 19:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. It's already in Babylon 5. In fact, it's currently the sole quote for that episode. It's not as prettily formatted, but I would point out that, as a quote from the show, this is speech transcribed, which has no inherent visual format. If we consider it as a complete print work like a poem, that should have specific formatting, then it would be a copyvio. Better we stick to the former interpretation and formatting, and leave the prettyprinting to official publications and fan sites. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. A user looking for this article is unlikely to type in the full title; they will go to the B5 page.  Even if for some reason they don't, since Mediawiki is so sensitive to the exact case and spelling of titles, they probably still won't find it except through the search facility.  So it serves no purpose.  121a0012 02:54, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
