[edit] IDEA Youth Forum
Article fails WP:NOTABILITY, WP:SPAM and WP:COI. This is one Part of a long history of Spam and promotion on Wikipedia, see also -Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#http:.2F.2Fwiki.idebate.org. Self-promotion and product placement are not the routes to having an encyclopaedia article.
I am also nominating the following related pages for the same:
- International Debate Education Association (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- IDEA / NJFL National Tournament (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) Hu12 (talk) 01:31, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep International Debate Education Association and merge the other 2 article into it: Needs sources added to the article, but a quick G-Search brings up a number of results that would qualify as reliable sources to verify the notability of this group. No need for 3 separate articles though. - Rjd0060 (talk) 05:02, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep IDEA and merge the others into it, per Rjd0060. --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) (talk) 09:13, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Ditto Keep IDEA and merge the others into it, per Rjd0060 -- SiobhanHansa 14:10, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Per above, and merge the others back to the parent. • Lawrence Cohen 14:35, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment. Per pre-existing prod+talk, I believe there is sufficient evidence of copyright infringement for IDEA / NJFL National Tournament to delete it outright, as a decision separate from the other two articles. The IDEA site states "All Content is © IDEA 2007" and this cut-and-paste from their PDF of the Tournament Manual would seem to fall under that claim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael Devore (talk • contribs) 06:13, 23 November 2007 (UTC) (Man, that bot is fast!
