This looks like a personal essay utlizing Original reserach. DFS454 (talk) 09:30, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. “Original research”. —SlamDiego&#8592;T 15:18, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Essay. Nick-D (talk) 07:29, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep/merge The article is not OR as the concept is well-known and sources are provided. A prose essay is the style we expect of our articles and so the stylistic criticism seems empty and is not, in any case, a reason to delete.  We are already have a more substantial article upon the topic - Global digital  divide - and so merger seems appropriate. Colonel Warden (talk) 16:29, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with SlamDiego and Nick-D -- this reads like an essay full of original research.  Matt (talk) 17:49, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It looks quite derivative to me. Please give an example of this original thinking.  Note that WP:COPYVIO and WP:PLAGIARISM require editors to write their own prose and so an original presentation is mandatory.  You need to demonstrate that there is some new idea here.

 * Keep/merge As per the Colonel. Article is about an importat subject and can be improved with time  FeydHuxtable (talk) 11:45, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
