Maori participation in sport and leisure

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Oh dear. Methinks some lecturer has told their students to post their essays on Wikipedia (see also Maori outdoor education. This is an essay, not only containing original research and expressing a point of view, but suggesting solutions. I can't see such a topic being rewritten in an encyclopedic manner. Some sourced material might be useful in either Māori or Sport in New Zealand dramatic (talk) 09:16, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Sports and leisure are good for everyone. However this does not seem like a notable topic for a WP article.  Some of the sources and information could be used in other articles on the Maori. Redddogg (talk) 18:55, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * If it would be suitable for Wikibooks, then transwiki and delete. Otherwise, just delete. It's a good effort but Wikipedia isn't the right place for it.- gadfium 21:18, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment I think its interesting that the creator of the article has not edited since the article was created. Though its only been 4 or 5 days (that doesnt say much) but it seems written as a personal essay and that the account was made primarly for this articles purpose, If we can Id like to hear from the creator of the article and perhaps provide some feedback tothem about the article Ottawa4ever (talk) 01:38, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
