Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Literary sources for the origin of the Romanians
This may become moot. If the article isn't rewritten, it will be deleted 6 days from now. But it's probably worthwhile to register a consensus about keeping it as a suitable topic. My main reason for deletion is that the subject "Literary sources for the origin of the Romanians" does not appear to be a topic of independent study. Various authors refer at times to the interpretation of literary sources in the context of dealing with larger issues, but that's not the same thing. This article is full of |synthesis and original research, both in terms of what quotes to select and the interpretation of their significance. Also, many of these quotes have interjected interpretations of what they are referring to, which isn't necessarily in the source.  Frankly, I don't see how such a topic could be anything but original research and synthesis unless the quotes were simply presented with a minimum of commentary, in which case the article is just a |a quote farm. Note also that many of the quotes are in English translations that are still in copyright. Others are from such old translations that their accuracy is subject to challenge. This makes the quote farm approach even less viable
