Promotional education

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

Contested PROD. Reasoning was that while there are some sources that use this term, there doesn't seem to be anything written about this term. Article is therefore original research on a non-notable neologism, and does not cite any reliable sources. Article's creator apparently thought peppering the article with tags would make up for the lack of sources. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:51, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

MERGE - Beeblebrox. I see you have recommended the entire article for deletion on the basis that it is a non-notable neologism. Having reviewed the criteria for notability and neologisms, I see that this article more fully falls under the auspices of the article on continuing medical education and does not merit its own article. With your consensus, I will move the content for promotional education, defined as "non-CME" education activity, to the CME page. I would like to add additional insight to the CME page about non-accredited medical education and cover additional information regarding the public debate over industry sponsorship of educational activities. Let me know if this is an amenable solution. I apologize if I have created a controversial thread as I have not been trying to create debate or contention.

 * That sounds like a fine idea, I'll redirect it to Continuing medical education. And no need to apologize, these things happen all over Wikipedia all the time. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:28, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
