Business report writing

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The article is written like a large how-to guide on writing business reports, riddled with second-person ("your report"), "tips", and questions directed towards the reader. I don't think it can be salvaged in its current state; while it's from 2008, even the oldest revisions have this kind of unencyclopedic writing style. &mdash; The Earwig   (talk)  23:10, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Contains very useful information, could be listed as needing to be wikified, I see no issue with the topic or even the format it is written. Jab843 (talk) 04:04, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete How-to manuals contain plenty of "very useful information" but Wikipedia is not an instruction manual, which is exactly what this article is.  Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  06:06, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. How-to article; reads like a student paper that had to be at least ten pages long. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:50, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - It's a student essay, NOT a Wikipedia article. --Madison-chan (talk) 21:58, 14 November 2011 (UTC)Madison-chan
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a student-essay host nor a HOW-TO guide. Stuartyeates (talk) 06:52, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. The article might make a decent page on wikibooks though. JORGENEV  07:18, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
