Information Guide-Future UWS Students[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article is entirely unreferenced and written as an essay rather than an encyclopedia entry; furthermore, I do not believe the subject meets our notability guidelines. It was tagged for proposed deletion on May 9; this was reverted by the article's creator the following day: [1]. I then tagged it for maintenance and tried to engage the editor in their talk page [2], even suggesting having the article converted to a draft. They have not acknowledged this and kept removing the maintenance tags: [3], [4] and [5]. –FlyingAce^✈talk 15:21, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is not an encyclopedia article but rather a personal essay. This topic is neither notable nor an appropriate subject for an encyclopedia article. There is nothing worth saving here. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 23:44, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I wish we had a speedy for this option but this is 100% absolutely not encyclopedic. This is not a guide for students or anyone else. This could probably also be deleted under G11 at this point... CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 00:33, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure yet. My first reaction was that it was definitely WP:PROMOTION and hence G11 material, but on a second look it is only the first couple of sentences which refer to UWS. Take them out and I think it is not longer a PROMO. It is actually almost entirely generic after the lead. It still remains a weak, very badly referenced article. There appears to be a gap between Student life (everday life of a student), Student, Student(s) stress, University, etc. which this article if properly rewritten (and of course renamed!) might be very useful. It might be more a matter of WP:TNT though. Aoziwe (talk) 10:19, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete obvious WP:PROMO and WP:GUIDE for a university. An 'information guide for future UWS students' belongs on a UWS webpage, and is not a notable or suitable topic for Wikipedia -- Whats new?^(talk) 01:03, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
""Delete"" Agree with above opinion, presumably the text for the article has come from the guide the article is supposed to be about, but has no merit on a Wikipedia page Fire525 (talk)
