[edit] Taking care of your hamster

Taking care of your hamster (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Seems like a paper someone wrote for an elementary school assignment. Full of POV and unlikely appropriate for an encyclopedia article. Rackabello 23:54, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. It's a nice article, and the young author shows a talent for writing. Unfortunately, this can't be included as a permanent addition to Wikipedia, but the author is encouraged to contribute more in the future. The article will probably stay up for at least a week pending the completion of the deletion process, but author and friends are encouraged to save this on their own computers before this is taken down.

  • Delete: To nom: It probably is. Not for Wikipedia. - Rjd0060 00:10, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Doesn't satisfy Wikipedia policies like WP:NOT#HOWTO but author could consider taking it to another site, for example http://pets.wikia.com/wiki/Hamsters or wikiHow which has many hamster entries.[1] PrimeHunter 01:29, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, Wikipedia is not a how-to. Transwiki is fine if there is a wikia place with a compatible license. Stifle (talk) 20:49, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
