[edit] Immersive Education

Immersive Education (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Questionable notability, has been prod'd before hence the straight-to-afd nomination. The two references provided only mention it in passing and don't provide any kind of detailed study of the subject. Roleplayer (talk) 23:59, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

• Note: don't know if this counts for anything, but this nomination was closed as a speedy earlier this week on a similar subject area. -- Roleplayer (talk) 00:01, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
• Comment The previous version was speedied as a copyvio. This version appears to be largely fresh text. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 00:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. No indication that there's enough coverage to pass WP:N. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 00:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
• SpeedyStrong Delete This article is half original essay0WP:OR and doesn't cite sources. It's also advertising for related events. Wikipedia isn't a community calendar.As for the subject itself there doesn't seem to be anything third party that we could count as reliable.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 02:05, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Those aren't part of the WP:CSD. Regular delete quick enough? --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 11:07, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I was on new page patrol flagging vandals and vanity when I originally typed that. I meant to say Strong Delete, just had speedy on the brain.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 18:21, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

• Comment - please take a look at the article's talk page - it appears to be an in-class project. -- Roleplayer (talk) 02:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I just read the talk page. Shouldn't they be playing in the sandbox?--Torchwood Who? (talk) 03:11, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable and entirely lacking reliable secondary sources. /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 02:43, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete I suggest the students mentioned on the talk page read Wikipedia:Your_first_article, especially everything that is said about reliable references. I could go and do the work of finding sources (at least typing the term in google has many results, so I actually think this meets WP:GROUP), but probably better to simply start from scratch, maybe in the next class :) --Minimaki (talk) 11:37, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Never mind that this is apparently a class project; there doesn't seem to be enough coverage in reliable sources here. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 12:13, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
• Deletion/Immersive Education I am a college student, computer information technology is my major. I first learned of Immersive Education through my course of study,through computer classes I have enrolled in at the college I'm attending. My Immersive Education experience thus far has been one that is positive. I find IE to be an invaluable educational tool, one that enables me to contact and communicate with students, educators, and professionals who have experience with virtual reality learning tools all over the world. Though a member of Immersive Education, I am relatively new to the group. I hope to use Wikipedia as a vehicle to learn all I can about Immersive Education. Jerome Gear (talk) 11:55PM, March 20 2008

• So are you for or against the deletion? You do not make this clear. -- Roleplayer (talk) 00:13, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

• Weak Keep It appears to be notable enough; the article is just overladen with peacock terms and unnecessary text (that should at least be left on the talk page). I'd wait to see what happens, and hopefully soon. Otherwise, recommend copying to userspace and working from there. Xavexgoem (talk) 09:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
• Keep it seems it is a notable project, at least judging by the distinguished sponsorship. The puffery can be removed easily enough.DGG (talk) 02:44, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
