The Effects International Golf has on the Economy

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

Yet another WP:OR essay from a student in the User:Globalecon/Global Economics project. According to the teacher's comments on AN/I, we can look forward to about a hundred of these. What fun. (Extra AfD credit if you can explain to me what the last sentence of this article—"When golfers speak of the game you cannot help but to remember its original birthplace of Scotland after all"—is supposed to mean.)

 * Delete but hasn't it been deleted twice before? Czolgolz (talk) 02:36, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * There aren't any deletions in the page log. All of these articles have been created only in the last couple of days. Deor (talk) 02:39, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see; the previously speedied article had the slightly different title The Effects International Golf has on the Global Economy. Deor (talk) 02:45, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Obvious Delete Another OR essay.  Enigma  message 02:59, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm still struggling to understand the last sentence. I think it's meant to be a shot at Scotland, but I'm not really sure. That's nonsense even by essay standards. How on earth can someone generalize about golfers speaking of the game?  Enigma  message 03:19, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, obvious OR essay. Additionally, if the user named really intends to flood WP with essays of similar quality, surely that falls under the "WP is not free web hosting" aspect of WP:NOT. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  03:14, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Weak Keep I think it maaay make it on its own. I've tried to wikify it a bit, and maybe if we give the author a bit of time it will improve (significantly, I hope, because it has to). Noble Story (talk) 03:17, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm not convinced all of the articles being written by these kids should be ashcanned, but this one should. WP:OR and per nom. X Marx The Spot (talk) 03:37, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete, these pages have now risen to the level of being disruptive. Wikipedia is not a free webhost.  Nakon  03:43, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete To be fair, this class has produced some semi-decent articles (at least by new editor standards). However, this is an original research / synthesis essay, not an article. B figura  (talk) 03:48, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Yet another case of flagrant disregard for our rules by someone seeking to push OR. ThuranX (talk) 04:56, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm trying to find the link made between international golf and world economies, and I can't find it. There are a few assertions made that "many players ... have helped the economy in many ways", but absolutely no justification for that thesis. Moreover, there's some inappropriate synthesis going on - none of the sources talk about the economic impact of golf. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 08:33, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
