Borderline WP:OR, it's not about what it says at the top of the article, it's an essay about the disadvantages of exporting, not about export strategies. roleplayer 23:02, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The page is being edited by students who are working on a project for class. Please give them some time to fill out the page and complete the project. I'm the instructor for the class on International Business at Fairleigh Dickinson University. - Dr. Martin L Martens mlmartens —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mlmartens (talk • contribs) 20:05, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia is not a free wiki hosting service for class projects. It is an encyclopaedia. Things that are not encyclopaedia articles do not belong here, and the WMF's servers are not provided for general purpose use. Please read Wikipedia:School and university projects.

- Delete, sounds like more than borderline OR to me. Looks like nothing other than a "Disadvantages of Exporting" essay, not encyclopedic. Nyttend (talk) 03:40, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't have any problem with the students taking a stab at writing a real article, but it has been a week and there has only been one edit done. I would suggest listing the project at WP:School and university projects, and stubbing the article rather than deleting it. On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with the students learning a real world example of an article being deleted. I think, to give the benefit of the doubt, the goal is to create a useful article, not to use the servers for a school project. Apteva (talk) 03:51, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Userfy. Move to User:Mlmartens/Export strategy. It's not clear what the article is about. Writing an article from a real book is to be encouraged. Unfortunately, is currently reads like a poorly sourced essay. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:34, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
