Allegations of excessive EU self-promotion

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I have been trying to salvage something from this article, but it is really almost entirely original research full of loaded messages. Whilst it contains plenty of references to the EU publications it is criticising, except in a couple of cases it does not contain references to the criticisms themselves and is thus mostly expressing the author's view.

 * Delete Neither my basic agreement with this position, nor my frustration with the stream of EU Research Projects using Wikipedia, prevent me seeing an essay, a POV synthesis that doesn't belong here. Perhaps individual documented facts might be appended to the European Union article and its sub-articles, but it seems unlikely that this can become a suitable article in itself.

 * Delete - as above; stream-of-consciousness essay. Neutralitytalk 04:35, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete The original author clearly has a political axe to grind and is using this as a platform. There is nothing really savable. The premise of the piece seems to be that it is wrong for an organisation to produce positive stories about itself. I can't off hand think of an organisation that deliberately puts out bad self publicity.Malcolma (talk) 10:24, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
