Purse Differences Between the PGA and LPGA Tour

I'm loathe to bite a student working on a class project, but this article, while a fine essay, is a textbook case of synthesis and original research. It is unfortunate that male golfers make more than their female counterparts, but I don't think Wikipedia is the place for article that speculates about why this is the case, and how it could be fixed. (FYI, this is another article resulting from the econ class at: User:Globalecon/Global Economics). B figura (talk) 01:30, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as nominator, for the reasons listed (although if this closes as a delete, please userfy to the author). B figura  (talk) 01:31, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Userfy - this is hopelessly made up of original research, and can't be kept. I'd agree that the subject (sex discrimination in golf) is probably notable though, so the user should be given a chance to rewrite it in accordance with Wikipedia policy, and then we might be able to accept it.

 * Delete and the reason men make more than women is the same as in tennis: revenue generated. Not only is it OR, it's a garbage essay in my opinion.  Enigma  message 03:29, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
