Morgenthau Lectures (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article fails WP:NOTABILITY, WP:SPAM and WP:COI Article was created by an WP:SPA account with no other edits other than related to this and its parent organization. Maintained by an IP associated with the organization. This is one Part of a long history of Spam and promotion on Wikipedia, See also - Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#Long_term_COI_spamming_by_Carnegie_Council
Self-promotion and product placement are not the routes to having an encyclopaedia article. Hu12 06:19, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

• Merge with Carnegie Council. There isn't enough here for a full article, but it seems reasonable to merge it over, since it does seem to get quite a few Google hits. Sχeptomaniac^{χαιρετε} 17:17, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Notable series by one of the most important such organisations. Long enough to justify a separate article. .Over-reaction by the nom to a round of what was seen as spamming--and some of it probably was. But this is a notable organization by any standards, an so are their lectures. Just look at the list of speakers!! DGG (talk) 02:58, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. I was going to vote Keep until I noticed that the full text of some of these talks is available on the cceia.org web site, for instance http://www.cceia.org/resources/publications/morgenthau/5283.html. These talks don't appear to be any more substantial than after-dinner speeches, and are unlikely to be cited as contributions in their own right. (If it turns out that some of these talks were commented on in the press, that might change my opinion). Though we have articles on many of the speakers, a quick scan through some of their articles did not pick up any mention of them giving these talks. These are not like the Reith Lectures or the Charles Eliot Norton Lectures. EdJohnston (talk) 03:24, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Good reason for adding the links. to them in those articles, not deleting this one. DGG (talk) 05:34, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
