[edit] Graduation with Civic Honors

Vanity/personal essay. Delete as per Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. Court Jester 21:15, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

• If you feel Graduation with Civic Honors is vanity, then delete the article. However, in this case does the topic not exist? Nels Lindahl
• Delete. Nels Lindahl is the originator of this proposal and the author of the article. Nels, if you're reading this, the proposal might be a good idea -- I personally think so -- but wikipedia is not the place to promote it. --Lockley 21:34, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete the page, but the existence of Graduation with Civic Honors is not original thought, students have graduated with civic honors. --Nels Lindahl 21:40, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
• If an encyclopedic, externally verifiable article can be produced, through the use of reliable, third-party sources, on this topic, then I may be inclined to support its inclusion. At the moment, it is an essay saying "hey, my idea is cool, lets do it" (at leas that's what I'm seeing when I read it. The article in its present form is a candidate for deletion per the WP:NOT policy. -- Saberwyn 03:30, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I was the person who nocontext'd it earlier.  RasputinAXP  c 03:34, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Civic Honors Program Requirements

    • I understand that "Graduation with Civic Honours" exists as a subject. Now, the challenge is to write an article about the subject, not about how cool you think the subject is. -- Saberwyn 05:03, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Please delete the entry and catch up on the topic later. This obviously is a perspective of satisfaction paradox. I am tired and according to policy should not participate in the dialogue anyway. (I have cut down the original entry removing personal reference.) Maybe the best solution is simply to create a stub or placeholder. Please accept my apologies as I stand up and walk away from the table. --Nels Lindahl 05:26, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
