[edit] List of English competitions
It's not at all clear what this list is for, or whether it is indeed an encyclopedic list worth keeping. Delete. Angr/tɔk tə mi 21:23, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, there must be similar competitions in other parts of the world, I should be able to find them in wikipedia. Kappa 22:59, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, unmaintainable list. And am I really voting delete in something that has to do with Academic Decathlon? Oh, the irony of it all! :P Titoxd 00:06, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Delete "This list is incomplete". Do tell. This list is bloody near nonexistent, and not likely to grow any larger in any hurry. Denni☯ 03:14, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Why not? Kappa 03:36, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Because despite its being created in July 2003 (and so more than two years for growth already) and having had the gentle ministrations of no less than eleven editors, it still has only one more competition than what it began with. Its edits have been almost entirely housekeeping edits, and for all intents and purposes, its content has remained unchanged since the Decathlon was added. Even being placed on AfD, which is often a kiss of life for weak articles, seems to have done it no good. As it stands, it is out-and-out useless since both items it lists already have stand-alone articles. While I have nothing against the idea of a good article on the topic, this is not it, and at its present rate of growth, is not likely to become it. Denni☯ 22:25, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- So anyone reading about the Spelling bee has no need to know about any similar competitions? Kappa 00:00, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
