Crime Prevention through Neighborhood Watch Programs

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is written like an essay, and I believe cleanup is not the way to go, considering Neighborhood watch already exists. Rarkenin (talk) 01:34, 11 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete  An immense list of problems.  First the subject is a reworded duplicate of Neighborhood watch.   Has no real references, just a few unfollowable fragments.  Written like a personal essay from start to finish; there is little or no usable material to salvage. North8000 (talk) 01:47, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep This article IS written as a personal essay. I had to make a wikipedia page for a university class that I am taking. As for the missing references I just added all of my references, I am new to wikipedia and I stopped working on the page to go to class and when I came home I found these notices. I am going to be deleting the page in a week or so once I have recieved my grade. Sorry if anyone feels I have violated policies, but the fault is more with my professor's choice of assignment and not my personal fault. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hcorriga (talk • contribs) 03:45, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * You may need to point out to your professor that he is actively encouraging his students to essentially break the rules of Wikipedia for his class. Please instruct your professor to WP:NOTESSAY and adjust his curriculum accordingly. I also realize that you may have misunderstood his instructions. Several university courses such as WP:MMM have successfully integrated Wikipedia contributions into the course but as article writing. There is quite a big difference.

 * Delete per rationale of article creator "This is a personal essay" see WP:NOR Hell In A Bucket (talk) 04:24, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - WP:OR as directly stated by article creator. Mkdw talk 07:55, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Original research. Hcorriga, ask your professor if s/he's read the guidelines at WP:School and university projects. Articles like this really aren't appropriate for Wikipedia. DoctorKubla (talk) 08:34, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as per original research and format. No use in cleanup of this page as Neighborhood Watch exists, and has more globalized and encyclopedic content. Rarkenin (talk) 12:43, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:OR and WP:NOTESSAY. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 22:11, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTESSAY and WP:NOR. Also, while there is some sourced content in the article, significant elements of synthesis are present within it. Northamerica1000(talk) 22:31, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as an essay full of original research, and also because Wikipedia isn't the Web host for your essays. The professor assigning this appears to misunderstand the goal of Wikipedia. There's no reason why students should have to upload their essays here rather than e-mailing them, or, better yet, handing it printed copies. CtP  (t • c) 23:39, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per NOTESSAY and NOR (and maybe WP:SNOW too). Well-meaning I'm sure, but non-encyclopedic.  Automatic Strikeout  ( T •  C) 02:00, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
