Effects of Shame, Trauma, or Sexual Abuse on Sexuality

Essay, not an encyclopedia article (especially under this title), looks like it might have been copied from somewhere else, or else this is somebody's research topic. Even the User name, WriteEssay, indicates this isn't appropriate for Wikipedia. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 20:43, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia isn't an archive for essays. Even the username that created it says it all for this particular one, WriteEssay. Part essay, part how to guide, no part Wikipedia encyclopaedic content. Canterbury Tail   talk  20:46, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Essay. Too well referenced. That might sound daft, but the referencing here is higher academic level, which suggests that that is where it came from - and belongs. But then again... I found this: "For help with research based projects and essay writing projects: http://www.qualityresearch.org.uk http://www.writessay.com http://www.customtermpaper.org http://www.marketingwebbusiness.com" which could lead to thoughts of spam. Especially as these same links were found in the External Links - and removed as spam by another editor. (They must have missed this bit just above the references.) I'm wondering if a Speedy might be in order, with the creator's username taken into consideration... Peridon (talk) 21:09, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - Based on the author's username (WriteEssay) and the fact that the author included multiple external links to professional essay writing services underwritten by the same Montana company--including WritEssay.com--it appears that the article was likely intended as an advertisement. —  C M B J   22:45, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I did wonder if they were connected. My supper got in the way of investigating... Peridon (talk) 23:01, 21 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - Wikipedia is not the place for original research. Bearian'sBooties 01:32, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Unwikified original essay. This seems to be a first effort of a new contributor who may not be aware of rules and standards and it might be good if one or two mentoring types got in touch with him and let him know what went wrong here. Learning to pick a topic and to write to WP style isn't something one is born knowing, after all... Carrite (talk) 04:43, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Never mind, the links at the end are flagrant advertising and it's pretty clear that this is intended as a free taste for potential customers. Carrite (talk) 04:48, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Pretty poor example, then. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 19:02, 22 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Blatent advertisement and spam. Turgan Talk 04:19, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
