The world of English

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

Article reads like an essay. Much original research and parts that sound like advertising for the book the article starts out talking about. Nick—Contact/Contribs 01:08, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete violates WP:NOT - Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought --mhking (talk) 01:18, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete as per above, completely violates WP:NOT in terms of original thought, not to mention notability issues. DBZROCKS   Its over 9000!!!  01:32, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete as above. Unsourced, no context, original research. Possible copyright violation? Liberal Classic (talk) 02:13, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Just a note: simply failing WP:NOT or being original research does not make this a speedy candidate. Which criteria would this go under? I agree that this should be deleted, but being speedy deleted is a little over the top. Tavix | Talk  04:45, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, possibly speedy. It's a very nice essay, but it's not what Wikipedia is here for.  To answer Tavix's question, it falls under WP:SNOW.Tyrenon (talk) 05:55, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Snow isn't a speedy criteria either. I see that this was eventually G12'd though. Tavix | Talk  17:23, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete, copyvio. It's a near-exact copy of the first chapter of "The Practice of English Language Teaching". So tagged. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 06:08, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
