Wikipedia is not a hosting site. For the creator of the page: Please use your own private site for things like this. NuclearWarfare  contact me My work 17:20, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Note - This and other related users are being discussed at AN here. The distinction between this and other class projects is that this group appears to using WP solely for hosting. See the AN thread. KnightLago (talk) 01:50, 3 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. The nom is exactly correct. Wikipedia is not a hosting site for class info about a course that the creator of the page is teaching. Nsk92 (talk) 17:55, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, Wikipedia is not a hosting site. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  21:03, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and all the other pages associated with this class project.  MBisanz  talk 01:34, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I think we're being too hasty - we've allowed class projects that were related to editing articles before, and we're not sure yet what this is about. --Random832 (contribs) 01:35, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I don't think we are being too hasty here at all. I have just re-read the page. It is quite clear that this is an info page for a course that is being taught at the University of Florida. No reasonable way to interpret it as anything else. Nsk92 (talk) 01:51, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * indeed we've been through this with great care on WP:AN.Geni 02:09, 3 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment I've been reading the AN thread as well as this one, and wonder if we could blank the pages then leave polite notices explaining more in depth what the project is about than our standard templates. Then, of course, delete if the material is returned. This may be a project intended to edit articles, etc. 6 months ago, or so, I reviewed a class projects article over at PR, and it was a vast improvement.

 * Another Comment (Can't get all my ideas into one post this morning...sigh) So, I noticed that Wikiversity offered to work with them. Here's the Wikiversity user's: |User:Eml4500.f08 and |User:Eas4200c.f08. Looks like they are porting their project over to Wikiversity, so I would go ahead and support a delete when this closes.Lazulilasher (talk) 13:30, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Deletion will be the final course of action, most likely, but I think in the future we should first respond with a friendly message explaining to the user why they shouldn't be making this page here. We can likely find a another site running mediawiki to point them to as well. -- Ned Scott 06:52, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * We've done that.Geni 08:55, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * After the fact, yes. My advice was for future situations. -- Ned Scott 05:30, 4 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Obviously delete, not a web host. --Anna Lincoln (talk) 16:30, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
