[edit] Direct Online Learning

• ^{[Check Google hits]}. Protologism. I see a handful of Ghits for "Learn Direct" online learning, which seems to be a system named "Learn Direct" - not anything to do with this article. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 00:16, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Learn Direct is a British company providing online courses and courseware. Cain Mosni 00:55, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep request sources, rather than delete. Propose deletion if sources not forthcoming. Cain Mosni 00:55, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Unencyclopedically written, and any salvageable content could be merged & redirected into e-learning. Brisvegas 07:48, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Haakon 07:51, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This term is not E-learning by itself, it is a part of E-Learning. Breckket 11:10, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
  • What's the difference with e-learning? - Mgm|^(talk) 11:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment If, as you say, it is a part of e-learning you should have contributed it as a part of said article. It doesn't merit distinct article status. Cain Mosni 12:09, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete it is essentially an advert (I confess it amuses me that Online Learning does not encouraging correct spelling, mine is lousy but ...). Nigel ^(Talk) 12:13, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - the article is a massive failure of WP:SPAM and this related item Nedim Dedic appears to be vanity. WilyD 12:44, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, stealth spam. It strikes me that just as lowercasing the second name ("John smith") is a reliable sign of a vanity page, Capitalizing Each Letter is a reliable sign of spam. - Smerdis of Tlön 13:49, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - it is stealth spam for a company with a particular delivery mechanism for e-learning. -- Whpq 17:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete advertorial per WilyD. E-learning is defined very broadly in the eponymous article. If we removed the spam paragraph at the bottom of DOL which links to Dedic, the rest is covered by e-learning. Ohconfucius 02:12, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete spam. AndyJones 19:27, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - along with the other WP:VSCA created by User:Breckket, like Nedim Dedic and Moodle Teacher Certified. FYI, the "source" for Image:Dol.jpg is bogus, so it should be zapped as well. --Dennette 03:08, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
