 * comments made on the talk page of the deletion article: The CATALOG article is extremely informative. It provides useful information about library training schemes. Many people are woefully ignorant of the fact that a person must take a degree to become a librarian. This page gives information about the Cambridge library traineeships and provides links to SCONUL, CILIP and the University of Cambridge. These useful links to professional bodies are invaluable.
 * This article does not 'belong in more than one category.'
 * If this article is deleted, it will truly be a terrible shame for potential librarians everywhere. As the managers of information and the people at the forefront of Web 2.0, this seems to me to be a bit of a paradox. Mrsradcliffe23 15:48, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Also, the page is not an advert. 131.111.130.215 15:52, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
 * as a librarian myself, I think this article is of local interest only--its about the Cambridge University system--to the extent that it actually says "A new position, at Corpus Christi, begins in May." -- the UK section of Education for librarianship needs work, but even there it wouldn't be a place for job listings.

I really do have to say that the point about the new position is not a job advert - the page is simply making the point that another traineeship is now in place in Cambridge. Perhaps the article could be more general but I still maintain that people in the UK considering librarianship as a career would find this an invaluable resource. The traineeships are a fantastic way of launching a career in the information sector and also give potential librarians a taste of the profession before they commit to a postgraduate course. The positions in themselves are highly courted. This article is intended to provide some more detail about the traineeships and what they fully involve. 131.111.130.67 11:37, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not for promotion or publicity, even for worthwhile activities. We should not carry job listings. EdJohnston 03:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Once again, this is not an advert or job listing. If the article is to be deleted, please delete it on relevant grounds (eg too specific to Cambridge.) Traineeships are advertised through relevant sources and this article is intended to provide information not act as a recruitment service.
