The Liaison between Facebook and Newspapers

 * – ( View AfD View log )

User written essay, pure original research. Guillaume2303 (talk) 09:30, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Massive synthesis of sources, totally unsuitable for Wikipedia. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 09:53, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete for the reasons stated; a shame as a lot of work has gone into it and I hope the contributor won't be discouraged from supporting the community. asnac (talk) 10:04, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Userfy This is the second AfD today that involves a University of Toronto student putting an essay up on the main page (the other being here). While I doubt this article can be salvaged, I agree with asnac that a lot of work has gone into the article. I'd rather encourage the writer to see if there are parts of the article that can be merged into other articles, rather than just blanking the article entirely.

 * The article's creator appears to be a member of this class, which is supported by both WikiPriject Wikipedia and Wikpiedia Ambassadors. I don't believe this article belongs at AfD. PaintedCarpet (talk) 10:48, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * When nominating this article, I actually was aware of this. However, I don't think that being a student or editing here as part of a class assignment should lead us to treat people anything different then we would do with "regular" editors. After having experience with several class assignments here, I find the experience decidedly mixed: on the one hand, I see Gerald Fischbach up for GA review, on the other hadn their is unencyclopedic stuff like this article (and Human Cognome Project is another problematic one). --Guillaume2303 (talk) 11:13, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Because there maybe be a systemic issue with the Canadian course (given these two AfDs), I have raised it at ANI. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 11:22, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Note that I also PRODded Young Canadian Voter Turnouts and Canadian Newspapers this morning. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 11:34, 15 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete While interesting, not really suitable since an encyclopedia should be about facts, not analysis of trends. The factual information should go in articles on Facebook and on journalism. Kitfoxxe (talk) 11:24, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
