Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional because it belongs to a notable topic of interest, particularly elearning. Blackboard also has an entry on Wikipedia and is proof of the notability of the subject. 360training.com represents a branch of elearning which is becoming more significant in the last 4 years -- compliance learning -- especially in the light of the global financial crisis. More and more industries are now under strict government regulation and professionals need to pass stringent standards, including taking continuing education. But using online learning for compliance is something that was controversial until companies possessing expertise in this sub-field proved otherwise. 360training.com is one such company.

Because of the systems it has proposed to government bodies that consulted with the company elearning courses have been accepted as continuing education media. This is true especially of 360training.com which is recognized by over 300 government agencies (these agencies are all referenced here for verification). But this has also become true for other elearning providers.

Compliance education, of which 360training.com is a recognized pioneer, is an important step in the evolution of elearning. The private sector-nation/state partnership implication of this is particularly significant. Blackboard, and many elearning companies, does not have this capability and expertise. 360training.com content therefore provides/fills in important missing information on Wikipedia.

Further, this has been the subject of discussion involving Bwilkins and Buffs [refer to earlier entries on talk page]. A constructive concession has been arrived at where Buffs has agreed to critique and provide guidance to the author of this content.


 * As it stands, the article is:
 * overlong
 * unsourced
 * promotional in tone
 * and thus is unsuitable for Wikipedia. Userpages are subject to the same restrictions on content as articles where advertising is concerned, per WP:UPNOT. I will, however, discuss this with Buffs and place a tag on the page until he has commented. Yunshui 雲水 10:21, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
