Online, distance and blended learning courses in Ireland.
I placed a prod tag on this; it was removed (with comments as detailed below on its talk page). It is is unencyclopædic and from this: Suppliers of online, distance and blended learning courses in Ireland are free to use this page to post limited information and links on their courses. is an attempt to use WP as a website. As such I'm taking this to AfD. Tonywalton | Talk 17:39, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment as posted on the talk page: I propose that it is an appropriate use of Wikipedia to create and maintain a page on online, distance and belended learning courses in Ireland as it is a public service to have such a page, it is by definition public information, and Wikipedia is probably one of the best ways of keeping the information up-to-date. If you agree, please respond to this message. Tonywalton | Talk 17:40, 21 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong delete. Wikipedia is NOT a free website... <_< Grafikm_fr 17:46, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOT. Wikipedia is not a webhosting solution.--Isotope23 19:02, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Remark. I have removed the offending sentence quoted by nominator from the article. I have also posted a comment on the article's talk page, rather than here, because (I felt) it was more about the content of the article than contributing to the discussion here.

 * remark. It looks like I have inapropriately placed this articele on Wikipedia.  I could argue that the distinction between a directory and an encyclopedia is not significant online, but I certainly would accept that I'm wrong on this if that was the opinion of experienced editors and contributors.  Because of this I will make no objection to it being deleted.  However, i would ask that this be left for a short while as I have sent the URL to a significant number of people so that they could add to the entry.  In the meantime I would appreciate any suggestions where I might find an open collaborative editing location that might suit a directory. --Brian 23:19, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Wikimedia software is free... all you need to do is get some free webspace and set up your own wiki. Then you can post whatever you want there.--Isotope23 04:05, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Stong Delete Wikipedia is not a free hosting site. (In fact, this page is candidate for "speedy delete"). Guliolopez 15:38, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
