Talk:Child life (degree)

I created this article after the stub article Child Life was overwritten. I have no knowledge of the topic and have asked the editor who did the mistaken overwriting to come to this article and create correct citations etc.

As the article stands at present it is not notable, and it risks deletion. I simply created it as an administrative edit to correct an error.

I have created it as a stub in order to seek to attract other editors.

 * I've done a little formatting to help the article out. Nothing towards content, because I am not a content expert.  Fiddle Faddle 10:27, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Citations, renaming (Move) etc
I'm having problems finding citations for the course. Finding ghits is not as simple as perhaps it should be. I have found McMaster University a long way down the ghits list, but it is a diploma program, not a degree.

There certainly are many Child Life professionals, I'm not disputing that at all, but the article is geared towards the education, not the activity. In part this is my doing because I created the article from that which overwrote the original (and unrelated) stub article, and did so with no research, simply taking as my cue the text from the initial article.

Accordingly I am suggesting and a couple of other tags, and potentially moving to a more relevant title, probably Child Life Specialists because of the way the article is developing. Fiddle Faddle 20:49, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Child life
finding citations and relevent information for the topic isn't difficult. Try searching "Child life degree" in any of the major search engines such as Yahoo or Google. I am simply trying to start a new topic as the current topic "Child Life" is simply a paragraph with broken links and one link to a private Canadian buisness. It's more helpful to suggest changes or add to an article than to criticize.

 * In which case please do your best ensure the relevant citations are present. The article would not be here at all if I had not rescued it after an anonymous editor overwrote an entirely different article with the basis of this one.  In general articles are better researched and edited by content experts.  When an article has no citations there is always the danger that it will be nominated for deletion, which will undo your good work.


 * As I said above, I created this to rescue it as a simple administrative exercise to ensure it was preserved and that it could be developed into a good article.
