Semiotics of gender
Another article by "the undergraduate student authors of this collaborative classroom project", see also Votes for deletion/Why Gender/Gender Construction. Same reasons apply, this is an essay, not an article. (And it is highly inappropriately named, as are many of their articles, too.) Anyway, maybe there is some usefull stuff in there, but I'd say that if one takes anything out that is questionable, there isn't much left. I made a (hopefully) complete list of all the articles and contributors of this school project, there is more work to be done: User:AlexR/school project -- AlexR 08:40, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Note: I recieved a mail today from the instructor, and she is perfectly willing to help to either move the contributions of her class to WikiBooks, or make them encyclopedic. Under these circumstances, please do not delete the article yet. Voting of course or debate can and should continue. -- AlexR 08:12, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, original research. Wikipedia is not a repository of undergraduate school projects. --Idont Havaname 03:45, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. There was a long and inconclusive discussion about professors turning students free on wikipedia as a classroom project. Can be a very good or very bad thing, depending on the actions of all parties. See School and university projects. Feco 04:54, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Userfy, hope that encyclopedic content can be prepared. These articles in their current form don't work for us, but there is substance here.  We're not talking about somebody's band that hopes to have a record deal someday. JamesMLane 08:50, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
