Support. Merge, if not outright deletion due to notability. --Animalparty-- (talk) 08:11, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Disagree don't merge to Internet Archive. This is an article about an important slogan. The references for this slogan is enough to be an independent article.DZTREQWS (talk) 10:18, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Demonstrate that it is important by reliable independent sources

I wish that this could have its own article but by Wikipedia guidelines, if it is not independently covered in multiple reliable sources then it is best merged. What animalparty says follows the community guidelines. Even if this is merged, at any point in the future when sources are identified then it could be split again. If it is merged, I would suggest that the category "Slogans" remain on the redirect so that people can still find this in lists of slogans. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:38, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agree Yes, this is a slogan, for goodness' sake. It contains no elusive references, simply putting the idea (which is not unique to the Internet Archive) into plain words. Imaginatorium (talk) 04:35, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unsure - this has implications about

• Comment I reverted the removal of the merge template from the article. There is clearly not a consensus to keep this "independent" article, and the removal was done by the only person who wholeheartedly supports it, who has close to an SPA. As a matter of fact, I can't see that this "article" does any harm, but equally I can't imagine how anyone would every come to read it. If this is the slogan of the Internet Archive and is noteworthy, then it should obviously appear on the Internet Archive article, by which time there is really nothing left to add.

 Disagree This is a notable slogan.((YTZA)) (talk) 13:17, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely merge. Agree . The above user also has no activity outside of edits to this topic. I'm guessing conflict of interest here? BrokenSegue 21:27, 22 November 2014 (UTC)\[reply]

 Disagree This slogan is too important in and of its own right to not be included in its own page. 2602:306:3006:8A90:9832:948C:81EF:BB80 (talk) 05:27, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree Yes, it's a good slogan, but the article as it is is a stub. The slogan has no use outside of the Internet Archive. – Zumoarirodoka_(talk)^(email) 16:01, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree This slogan's own notability remains undemonstrated and is confounded by the notability of the Internet Archive itself.

What more is needed to make the redirect? The number of references has been increased, but the whole thing is ridiculously vacuous (or circular, but the radius is so small I can't really tell). The fact that this is the "stated mission" of the Internet Archive seems noteworthy, but there is nothing else to say. Finding exactly the same phrase in a book somewhere is no surprise, since it is a generic expression: "The dream of universal access to all knowledge is as powerful a dream as that of universal literacy and universal education." This is not related to the notional topic of this page, because it predates the Internet Archive (pub. 1986). (I think I will delete it, though in a way it is useful evidence of the generic nature of the topic slogan.) Imaginatorium (talk) 03:09, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've redirected, as a deletion would be more troublesome.
