Vanguard College Rankings
De-proded (with an "appeal of fairness" by the author, a "poor, African American man endeavoring to make a decent, honest, scholarly living" removing the POV diatribe, implying that jealousy and/or racism might might lead one to object the validity of the rankings ). While I respect anyone trying to make a scholarly living, this article doesn't belong in Wikipedia. The article is unsourced, failing WP:V. There are no claim to assert why Vanguard College Rankings are notable, failing WP:WEB or any other notability guideline. "Vanguard College Rankings" gets only 130 unique Ghits & nothing in Google News. -- Scientizzle 18:14, 24 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Not notable yet. Taking information found by other and rescaling the weights isn't anything to write home about. - Richfife 19:02, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. No claim (let alone evidence) of notability. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:07, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as this does not meet WP:WEB and has some WP:V problems as well. Other than the website of the rankings, I see only trivial mention elsewhere and nothing that reliably sources this article.  I wish the author luck in his endeavor though.--Isotope23 20:32, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment also note that the author added a section on the VCR at College and university rankings that should be removed if this article is deleted.--Isotope23 20:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete WP:NOT for things invented in school one day. ~ trialsanderrors 21:51, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a place for promotion per the author's comment he's trying to make a living. ColourBurst 02:26, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Peace I considered defending this, my article, on James A. Johnson's behalf, but considering the overwhelming support for deleting it, my defense would undoubtedly be useless. So go ahead, delete it. Ajagu P.S.  How do I delete my account?
 * Delete nn by any stretch of the imagination. Carlossuarez46 20:38, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
