Elementary Drug Abuse

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unsourced essay that complete ignores WP:NPOV and WP:OR. Delete. Yinta ɳ  20:33, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, a strongly opinionated essay. Any article that begins with In today's world.... can only go downhill from there. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 20:42, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

I am working on this page for a school project I am new to creating on wikipedia so I am not yet used to everything. Much of my information is from books on education in schools, but I have not yet cited them, but will be shortly.The article is clearly not finished and was only posted so that my fellow group members and classmates could view the progress. All necessary information will be added to comply with wikipedia standards shortly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EMarq (talk • contribs) 21:07, 27 April 2009 (UTC) --EMarq (talk) 21:13, 27 April 2009 (UTC)EMarq


 * For your information, Wikipedia is not a webhost for schoolprojects and such (see WP:NOT). Furthermore, original research is not accepted (see WP:OR) and articles have to carry a neutral point of view (see WP:NPOV). In short, I see your point but I don't think your article has much chance of surviving here, sorry. Maybe you should host it on Facebook or a similar social networking site?

The information that is going to be provided in this article are taken directly from published educational research books. Therefor they are not original research. I am adding the proper citations for the various books that will be used. --EMarq (talk) 21:51, 27 April 2009 (UTC)EMarq


 * Just a comment; do not copy exactly what the books say, that would nullify any chance the article has of surviving deletion, as copyright violations are strictly forbidden under Wikipedia policy, see WP:COPYVIO. Oldlaptop321 (talk) 23:04, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete and redirect to Drug abuse. I would have done it had it not been an AfD. Drawn Some (talk) 23:01, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete So in this article's opinion, if I take Tums for an extended amount of time to treat an upset stomach, I abuse drugs? A very poor argument for an article in the WP:ESSAY vein, along with WP:POV and WP:Not the place to put your essays. The stilted writing and self-admission of violation of copyright also comes into play, and there's no need for a redirect.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 06:23, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The writer admitted to using information, not the exact wording of the source. Information can't be copyrighted. Still, Wikipedia is not the place to publish opinion pieces. Be nice and send the creator a copy before deleting. - Mgm|(talk) 09:29, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete, essay, soapbox article. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 17:55, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I would like to give our friend some time on the off chance that soemthing credible, sourced and encyclopaedic could be provided but, I'm afraid, it seems unlikely such material exists. By all means though, prove me wrong. HJMitchell    You rang?  07:06, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
