As a result of the AfD discussion, I have created the section, "Goals of the Orator." This section does not copy the old article, since on inspection of the source, delectare is not a stand-alone goal that can be separated from the other two goals. The previous article's understanding of delectare as, for example, the style of a modern comedian is unsupported either by the cited text or by Cicero's original. -- Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:14, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
- Nice work, thanks Depthdiver ( talk) 18:41, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
