Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death
This has been moved to Wikisource. It could be developed into a page if someone wanted to add quotations from the actual speech, but it has not been touched for well over a year. Might as well get rid of until someone feels like adding anything. Zhaladshar 18:18, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment: The issue of deleting Wikiquote pages moved to Wikisource was most recently discussed in the VfD for A Tryst With Destiny (see the archived entry for details). Transwiki policy (as stated in MetaWiki) is to leave pages with links or redirects in place, but it's fuzzy and somewhat self-contradicting in places. Wikipedia and other projects often ignore the policy, especially given difficulties in the transwiki process and the resulting backlog. Based on the "Tryst" vote, the Wikiquote community was noticeably uninterested in resolving this issue at that time (5 weeks ago). If we demonstrate with this vote that we've changed our minds since then, I'll update the transwiki policy to reflect our practices. &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 19:11, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I didn't know that. I guess that means I won't be adding other pages which have been moved to Wikisource.  At Wikisource we really don't transwiki anything, so I was not aware what the current policies involving transwiki were.  Zhaladshar 19:20, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Just so no one feels awkward about piping up on this issue again, I'll start this round of transwiki-related voting. See my archived "Tryst" explanations for details. (The policy discussion I mention there didn't really go anywhere.) &mdash; Jeff Q (talk) 19:36, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Transwiki policy on meta doens't work in many places. Most of transwikied article from English Wikipedia haven't been listed on w:Wikipedia:Transwiki log (there are only six or seven entries since this January). And since February 2005, all the redirect to the other site including other Wikimedia project has been disabled for preventing redirect using spamming, so it is useless to keep them as "redirect". And I think it is up to the community which received transwikied articles to keep the history of the transwikied article, not the community which sent it. For our own documentation, we could list it on our transwiki log (now it is isolated on this project).--Aphaia 20:11, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
