[edit] The Porto Alegre Innovation

The Porto Alegre Innovation (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is clearly non-neutral in its point of view. It takes an advocacy tone toward its subject. The article contains considerable original research, is not encyclopedic in tone, is very lengthy, and frankly is likely beyond help from someone without a conflict of interest. The author maintains that "the world needs to know" about the process involved, but maintains a web site that is even more detailed; that web site is a more proper venue for this article than Wikipedia.

Delete content and redirect page to Participatory budgeting - normally I'd vote to merge, but sifting through all the OR and other unencyclopedic verbiage is too herculean a task to expect of volunteer wikipedians. The creator has not contributed to any other articles, for what that's worth. Bobanny 21:13, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

NOTE: The author has read our comments, essentially agreed with them, and blanked the article (see the article talk page). Move for summary judgment, your honor. Realkyhick 08:09, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
