Joint with Articles for deletion/Racism in early 50's rock music, I believe. Otherwise, non-notable essay.  ceran  thor 11:36, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep As I understand it, of the various pages on this topic created recently, this is the only one within Wikipedia guidelines, namely WP:UP. It doesn't meet any of the WP:UP criteria and can be reasonably considered a sandbox. – Hysteria18 (Talk • Contributions) 19:17, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Have you seen Talk:Racism in early 50's rock music?  ceran  thor 21:09, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I haven't, and now won't be able to. Would you mind summarising its contents? – Hysteria18 (Talk • Contributions) 16:02, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * HJED admitted that the information which the creators of the other articles, and this one, I guess, were completely false and that the students had been told to post said information on the site, to test our sense of reliability. When the original article was tagged, he admitted this.  ceran  thor 16:08, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe you shouldn't be guessing. While this page is original research and basically unsourced, the information is true. Elvis did join the army in the late 1950s, and Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valensa and Jiles Richardson did die in Cerro Gordo County in 1959. Even if it were untrue, my !vote wouldn't change: there's no requirement anywhere at WP:UP that user pages be factual in nature. – Hysteria18 (Talk • Contributions) 17:04, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete This sort of experiment at sabotaging Wikipedia has been tried several times by what claim to be educational institutions. It's like teaching IT by trying to bring down the school computer. Or teaching law by having the students bring false charges.   Everything that is part of such projects is vandalism and needs to be removed.   I recognize the individual students are not themselves responsible for it, but what is being done is just as wrong as if it had been their idea, instead of their irresponsible instructor.

 * Speedy delete If I understand rightly, this information was already deleted as a hoax; while db-repost doesn't apply, hoaxes are speedy deleteable. Even if this is not considered to be a hoax (I know that some of the information is true, although I don't know about the rest), this is part of an attempt to damage the encyclopedia, and we can bend the rules in order to fight an attempt to damage Wikipedia.

 * Hoaxes are not speedy deletable; true nonsense is, but general hoaxes should generally be subject to wider review. Of course, it's established as a hoax in this case. @harej 00:11, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete this and any future school essays that a teacher requires to be created as articles Wikipedia. Any systematic attempt to violate the principles of wikipedia should easily fall into the IAR cleanup zone. Gigs (talk) 16:13, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
