[edit] Technology in the classroom

Technology in the classroom (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Contested prod, so lets go to a formal discussion. Wikipedia is not a place to publish essays, which is what this page is. Wikipedia is not Myspace, it cannot publish unsourced original research, and it is not an indiscriminate collection of information. J.delanoygabsadds 17:34, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. The subject itself would probably might make a suitable article, but in it's current form, better to bin and start again. Unreferenced/Original research. Paulbrock (talk) 17:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete As Paul said the article may be a good idea for a subject but not in its surrent form. Kaloo (talk) 17:38, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. It's not a proper article. ... discospinster talk 18:06, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - we haven't given it much time, but it is clearly going to be an OR essay, not an encyclopedia article. When it first appeared, it was headed "Technology in the Classroom (CTL1799 Earth Team Project)", raising in my mind the spectre of another Global Economics debacle. I have asked the author whether this is a class project, and if so who is in charge, so that they can be pointed to useful advice and guidelines; but no reply so far.

  • Comment - I have tracked down "CTL1799" - it is a course at the University of Toronto. I have looked around its website, and it does not seem that the students are told to use Wikipedia for their project papers; so with luck this is a one-off. JohnCD (talk) 20:29, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. A WP:OR essay. If there is a valid concept for an article somewhere behind this, it should first be developed in a user sandbox. Nsk92 (talk) 19:30, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete under WP:NOT a notepad. WillOakland (talk) 21:35, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per all above. Stifle (talk)
  • Delete not an article. Ditch this trash. JuJube (talk) 02:11, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete: Obviously an OR Essay. Deathawk (talk) 04:11, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • delete as above Jasynnash2 (talk) 16:14, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
