Communicating Across Cultures

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

The article gives advice on communicating across cultures, cited to two books on business communication, a web source, and Wikihow. Content is of a how-to nature, and is not encyclopedic per WP:What Wikipedia is not. The page was prodded by Madhero88 with the comment, "Wikipedia is not a how-to guide.". That prod tag was removed by Alain971; no reason for opposing the prod was offered. Madhero88 restored the prod tag, but since prod is only applicable for non-controversial deletions, AfD is the more appropriate venue.

 * Delete  I consider these essentially short unencyclopedic essays, not articles.  DGG ( talk ) 00:49, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as an essay and a how-to. I don't care if it's written in "essay style", it's a friggin' essay.  Mandsford (talk) 14:44, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to cross-cultural communication. This would seem to be an unintentional content fork given the prior existence of a slightly better article; I see nothing worth merging. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:19, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per What Wikipedia is Not. No redirect required as it is not a term of art. --Bejnar (talk) 06:32, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
