- Delete - No notability, only at his school? There are many message boards that are school related that dont deserve a wikipedia article. Chris Kreider 14:27, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Non-notable, too new, almost no activity on the board. Watch out, this article is being link spammed to articles like Engineer and Engineering. Hu 15:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete. Not notable at all. --- RockMFR 17:53, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Retain - Hi, I'm the author of this forum. First of all, I don't mean to make it for my school only. I know it's new and not much activity is going on currently. But everyone has a starting point, don't we? Hu, how can u say i linked spam when the links placed were related to my field? They were not even external links, and they link to engineers_voice article within wikipedia. Yiwen017 12:55, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Using wiki links to link to a promotion article is still link spamming, even if it is a bit indirect. It was not terribly great in number, but it is still basically trying to promote your forum, and it is well-established policy that Wikipedia is not to be used that way.

- Well, it was a new page and it was mentioned as a stub, and wikipedia encourage to introduce links to it. So, I went out to find the most relevant article to link to this page. And I chose "engineers" and "engineering". I have to introduce links to my page eventually, right? Does that count as link spam? Other than that, I do admit that it's new.
