How to deliver bad news

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Short version: we're not a how-to guide. Moreover, however, aside from the how-to factor, breaking bad news is fairly well covered in WikiHow - and if this article belongs anywhere, it's there.  Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 18:16, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Additional note - was originally tagged for db-nocontent. I removed the tag as it clearly has content. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 18:17, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - The entire content of this article was blatantly copied directly from the website http://badnewsconcordia.info. -- SoCalSuperEagle ( talk ) 18:21, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Dear Venturi14: I am sorry to have to be writing you and apologize in advance for this occasion.  All editors here at Wikipedia are valued, and we appreciate all good faith contributions.  However, I regret to inform you that the article you created, "How to deliver bad news" does not meet Wikipedia's policies for inclusion.  How-to materials are extremely valuable but outside the mission of our project, and we hope you can find useful places on the internet for it elsewhere.  Also, as the material appears to be copied from elsewhere, management has some copyright concerns that I am sure you know we need to be careful about.  Thus, although this article will be Deleted, we look forward to your future contributions.  Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns, anytime.  With highest regards, I sincerely remain, Yours,--Milowent (talk) 19:10, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
