[edit] Prospecting for customers

as well-written as this is, wikipedia is not a how-to guide. I have already transwikied this to Wikibooks (though I may not have done it quite properly as it was my first transwiki. Someone who knows what they are doing should really check on it). Now what? I don't see any other option but delete Jacqui ^{★ 03:54, 2 November 2005 (UTC)}

• Delete I agree that it is very un-encyclopaedic material jnothman ^talk 04:30, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I would not hastily delete the article. As I see it, the whole article is by a single contributor, and although not sure, the source of the whole article is this one book (Even a picture of the book is displayed, making the article look like an advertisement!) So, the article needs to be reworked to remove POV issues. So keep and cleanup. Prashanthns 07:26, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Regardless of POV or not, Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. —Cleared as filed. 13:08, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. Ifnord 15:02, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - this sounds very much like original research. It's neither a book review nor a broad-based article on prospecting. Are those pictures copyvios? - Just zis Guy, you know? 16:12, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, as stated above it appears to violate WP:NOR. It has already been transwikied by Jacqui for posterity.--Isotope23 17:31, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

• Merge anything that should be merged with advertising/branding, and delete the rest. Ingoolemo ^talk 08:04, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
