Event planning and production[edit]

Nominate for deletion - A non-notable topic, drifting into a how-to, prod was removed --T-rex 13:15, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak keep~~. It's definitely a notable topic - it's a key element of a multi-billion dollar industry, there are nationally recognised qualifications in many countries and many hundreds of often very large companies involved in this activity. But the article is pretty feeble and needs major surgery or stubbing. andy (talk) 13:28, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
nationally recognized qualifications? Are you sure you commented on the right article? --T-rex 13:35, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, really. For example here is a UK one which is part of the national NVQ framework. And here is a degree course in Australia. Lots more like that. Beats me, but there you are. andy (talk) 17:19, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per WP:NOT#HOWTO and WP:RS. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 13:37, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge anything worthwhile to event planning (which also needs improvement, but is in comparatively better shape). Topic is notable, but the nominated article is redundant. Townlake (talk) 18:16, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I must be getting old. I had forgotten about event planning despite having contributed to it. I agree with Townlake - merge and I promise to take my pills regularly from now on. andy (talk) 20:32, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm the one who removed the deletion proposal. Didn't realize there was another article on event planning. Wikipedia only needs one, so merging seems reasonable, as Townlake suggested. The deletion proposal said "... drifting into a how-to," and that probably describes Event planning even more than this article, so it'll need cleanup. Fg2 (talk) 03:38, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge & redirect--I agree with User:Townlake above, move any salvageable content to event planning, then make a redirect. --Eastlaw (talk) 07:20, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
