Strategic planning in the public sector

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a class sandbox in mainspace that will require a complete rewrite to be encyclopedic. I PROD'd it and the creator removed it replying on the talk page ''We are working on improving the page we are students doing a project and waiting for everyone to add their sections to the page. We appreciate your patience.'' The creator has completed the training program so is aware of the Education program but is apparently choosing not to use it. The creator's edit history shows they are aware of the existence of sandboxes but are choosing not to use them. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:29, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Non apropriate usage of mainspace. Eduemoni↑talk↓  12:49, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipedia is not homework, we've had enough of this sort of thing, there is no one at WP:ENB or WP:ENI who can deal with the onslaught, and the only suggestion there for dealing with similar problems is to stub the student articles or prod/AFD them. I placed a copy in User:Deshemp/Sandbox and asked that the students develop their article there.  What has been demonstrated time and time again, without exception, at the Education Noticeboard is that the students dump their articles as term-end approaches and they need a grade, and they never return to cleanup, leaving us with little salvageable content and a cleanup mess. Sandboxes should be used for homework. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 06:14, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Tentative keep - I'd like to see what they do in the next three days. Bearian (talk) 22:49, 3 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete, at least in its present form, per Stuart and Sandy. I doubt that the class will respond adequately to our advice, but if Bearian can really rewrite it, I'll consider changing my mind – otherwise, I'd rather see it deleted and see someone start it over from scratch. --Tryptofish (talk) 16:02, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
