This article is culled directly from Jonestown#The Port Kaituma airstrip shootings and is not changed in the least. It begins with no context whatsoever given of what this event consisted, and ends just as abruptly. It should deleted as content that exists in its entirety in an article that gives context and background. Wildhartlivie (talk) 09:55, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

• Delete, content is already covered in Jonestown. Article was not spun out correctly (no attribution under GFDL and the section in Jonestown was not summarised). Jonestown is a big article and summarising might be appropriate for certain sections, but there should be discussion on the talk page about which sections to spin out and the content should be split properly.

• Keep - ah. yes sorry. i made this, planning to spin it out and ran out of time and forgot it. give me a shot. Important, definitely notable event, and i think events should be kept separate from location articles. please give me a weekSpencerk (talk) 15:52, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
• Delete - I actually wrote much of the text in the current Jonestown article and this should absolutely not be broken out into a separate sub-article. The shootings of Ryan were most certainly part of the event that night. Of all thing things in the article, I have no idea what would possibly drive the idea of spinning off the shootings of the Ryan party from the rest of the groups' events that afternoon. It would be like writing a separate article on the actual drinking of poison separate from the one recounting Jones' Pavilion address. It makes no sense. In fact, the Ryan party killers came back to the Pavilion during the middle of the speech, and this was perhaps THE driving force behind the quelling of dissent, if you read the Jonestown article, after they knew they had already killed the Congressman and others. It was repeatedly the reason Jones gave why they had to take their own lives, because "others" had purportedly decided they had to kill the Ryan party, so the Temple had to kill themselves before troops "parachuted" in on them, tortured them and enslaved their children.Mosedschurte (talk) 17:04, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
