[edit] Manufacturing Engineering Centre

Manufacturing Engineering Centre (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Disputed speedy deletion as WP:CSD#G11 (Spam), brought here for clarification after a messy deletion review. Questions raised there include whether it should be renamed or merged. Procedural listing, no opinion from me. ~ trialsanderrors 01:01, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. It took me a while to sort things out. The article is not spam; it's more like the editor who wrote it was a little confused. From what I could glean from Google, the company is taken seriously over there in Wales, but I wasn't able to confirm the purported awards it received - that would be helpful.

  • Delete. This is another vanity article for Duc-Truong Pham, whose article we deleted not long ago. Alternatively, mergeto Cardiff University, where stuff like this usually belongs. Ohconfucius 08:47, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Hi Ohconfucius, you did not delete the article about Professor Pham, but I blanked it because I did not have time to reply to your defamatory remarks.
As I have stated before, Professor Pham did not write his biography or any article in Wikipedia. I wrote the article about the Manufacturing Engineering Centre because I saw many articles on similar centres in Wikipedia e.g. Warwick Manufacturing Group, Wolfson Centre for Magnetics, etc...
The article I wrote initially did not contain a biography of Prof. Pham. After a few days, someone added a link to his name, that was when I filled in his biography (as I thought that the biography was required in order to complete the article - I am new to Wikipedia).
Please be more constructive and check facts before publishing your remarks, and I do not wish to enter into any more arguments. Sweetpea2007 10:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
