Train the Trainer
Er, what? Self-promoting nonsense, bordering on patent. Delete. -- Plutor 14:19, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Cleanup it's a term used for courses and such designed for training persons who will eventually be teachers of some sort, particularly in corporate training programs and the like. It isn't self-promotion or nonsense.  I find it hard to keep such an oddly-worded substub, but with 979,000 Google hits (exact phrase) I can't easily vote to delete it either.

 * Keep and send to cleanup/request for expansion. - Mailer Diablo 18:15, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Cleanup, as noted above. Barno 18:38, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, ok, the phrase exists, but there's no article here except fork fodder. Wyss 01:38, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as circular definition. Radiant! 09:03, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Move to Wiktionary. Dicdef. -- Riffsyphon1024 09:06, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * The phrase certainly exists and is in active use. There might be something useful to say about the strengths and weaknesses of this particularly long-running management fad.  The current content, however, is a mere dicdef.  Keep for now but transwiki if not significantly expanded in a reasonable time.  If kept, move to the correct capitalization - train the trainer.

 * Concur with Rossami. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:25, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that Wiktionary would want it. Things that aren't single parts of speech are dodgy. Uncle G 22:10, 2005 Mar 11 (UTC)
 * Keep, real term - David Gerard 00:18, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, useless. Edeans 20:47, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
