Fishing for pike


Delete as nom. Article reads like something which should be on an uneditable enthusist's website or a fishing wiki. Offers no information as to the subject's notability and does not seem to follow the manual of style. Seems to be a perpetual target for spamming. This is simply not the kind of article for a free encyclopedia. If a more appropriate sister project would be a better location, Transwiki. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 01:25, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

*Delete per nom, unencyclopedic fishing lesson.-- John Lake 18:58, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is original research (since it's not cited well) and is a how to. -- Mikeblas 01:35, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge whatever relevant info is left to Pike (fish) after a MAJOR overhaul. Right now it reads like a Field & Stream article, but once all the POV and "how to" garbage is removed, there actually seems to be some decent content.  PS: this article has been around since 2002, and this is the best we've got? Wavy G 02:54, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki or delete as a how-to, which Wikipedia is not. MER-C 04:56, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. J I P  | Talk 08:24, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to pike. How to fish it should be in that article, not outside. --Fred McGarry 10:37, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. Transwiki to WikiBooks and leave link in Pike. - Mgm|(talk) 11:28, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - merging this kind of stuff would simply disrupt a perfectly good article on pike, which are more than "things that swim around waiting to be caught". -- Elar  a  girl  Talk 14:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to wikibooks. It sounded like wikibooks material the moment I saw the title.  Confirmed by the article. Dolive21

 * Delete - the article is a how-to guide. -- Whpq 15:34, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - it's original research and how-to; by no stretch of the imagination encyclopedic. -- Orange Mike 16:14, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete this article is not fit for an encyclopedia. Nileena joseph (Talk 16:51, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki-After consideration I change my vote to Transwiki to WikiBooks.-- John Lake 19:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I sent the delete voters a message and I would like to ask anyone who makes a comment after me to explain why they prefer not to transwiki if they vote to delete. - Mgm|(talk) 11:17, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wikibooks. The content doesn't fit in with Wikipedia guidelines, but it would be a shame to lose it. Fits Wikibooks remit. --GraemeL (talk) 15:18, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Now imported -- has been transwikied to wikibooks (b:Transwiki:Fishing for pike). In the future, if transwiki is urgently needed, please list on b:WB:RFI. -- SB_Johnny |talk|books 16:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
