Geotech portfolio

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails GNG. Apparently the creator wants to write an article about one particular geotechnical sample and how it will be analyzed. I don't know why the article is titled "Geotechnical Portfolio" but from the header "James Huff - FGCU - Geothechnical Engineering 1 - Dr. Kunberger - CRN10385" this appears to be a school lab report or paper for the Geotechnical Engineering 1 course at Florida Gulf Coast University. We don't need the specifics of this particular sample, and anything else is already covered in articles such as Geotechnical engineering and Soil mechanics Meters (talk) 04:14, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
 * If this particular sample happened to have been of critical importance in some major civil engineering case, and there were reliable sources discussing the case and this sample's importance then I could see this being of interest to Wikipedia. Even then it would almost certainly just be an inclusion in the article about the case rather than a stand-along article about the sample. As it is, it is WP:OR about a trivial sample, and probably someone's schoolwork. Meters (talk) 04:31, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

 * I'm wondering if this was just supposed to be a joke. The cartoon File:PotatoArms.png with the quote "I'd rather be a potato farmer" does not look like a serious attempt at either a Wikipedia article or a school lab report. The article creator purposely added it to the article since it was not in the Sussex County, New Jersey article used as a template, and the editor modified the formatting of the image here  and has not touched the article since the potato farmer bit was deleted.

 * Delete. Seems to be similar to a project, falls under WP:NOTWEBHOST for this circumstance.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   12:26, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete I am not amused. should probably just WP:CSD the thing as it is so much gabble. Dloh cierekim  22:21, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
