Moore 24

The article is the text from a magazine (the user claims to have received permission to use it on wikipedia), doesn't actually talk about sail boats, rather discusses people (non-notable) that have sailed them. --nixie 00:14, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• What is the requirement for proof of permission to republish? If your prefer, it can be edited down, but it does talk quite a bit about the design/evolution of the Moore 24. Racing sailors do find this article interesting, and the people mentioned are notable in the sail boat racing world. (I gtabary, added signature) 63.198.177.76 07:18, 20 Jan 2005
• Condense and keep. This looks maybe a little long but makes sense. Maybe focus more on the technicalities. Probably discussed people is to much of fan material to be included in the WP. I'd say if not re-written in a while; then delete. Am not knowlegable in the domain, so I don't go into edit. Gtabary 09:51, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• I've moved the article off the WP, and referenced it from a brief article here. Is that more acceptable? 63.198.177.76 06:40, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• How long will this article stay in limbo? 63.198.177.76 18:37, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 02:18, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
