English phonetic alphabet

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Teaching method without sufficient demonstration of notability. The article itself doesn't give any evidence of notability except for mentioning it's part of the curriculum of a single course at a single college; according to a message left at my talkpage by the article creator, it is also used in a couple other classrooms and has been presented at an academic conference at the provincial level; I don't think that is sufficient indication of notability as the scope of these are rather limited and much is not independent of the subject (for example, another argument the creator gave is that the previous workshop the creators of this alphabet gave is available on the internet, and will be available in the conference proceedings in February). r ʨ anaɢ (talk) 00:40, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm somewhat hesitant about this, but I struggled to find anything on the topic myself. — Æµ§œš¹  [aɪm ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɛ̃ɾ̃ˡi]  16:20, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - The single cited source doesn't actually mention or describe the system; I couldn't find any supporting sources either. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:55, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

 * This system, however, is not mentioned in that article, and I'm not sure there would be consensus to add mention of it (for the reasons mentioned above). r ʨ anaɢ (talk) 23:50, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not proposing to merge the info on this specific (non-notable) system to the target article, but only to redirect there. The title "English phonetic alphabet" is a somewhat plausible search term for what is described in Pronunciation respelling for English – which itself has a rather implausible search term as title. --Lambiam 11:05, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete then Redirect per Lambiam. The current content is far from notable, but the title is probably as more likely search term for the content at Pronunciation respelling for English than it's actual title, particularly by those who have little to no knowledge of the field.
