The result was Speedy deleted this page as a [http://www.acpeds.org/?CONTEXT=art&cat=10002&art=162&BISKIT=1249745275 copyvio]. Personally, I think the group could be worthy of a page, but not when it is borderline G12-blatant advertising and copies whole sections word-per-word from another source (that isn't a wiki clone.)---I'm Spartacus!

The nominated article advertised a group, is poorly sourced, and is poorly sourced due in no small part to the fact that the 'college' in question is not notible. This article promotes a specific biased political view and seems impossible to rewrite such as to make it encyclopedic. SpeedyLA (talk) 03:53, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

  • A notice has been placed at WT:LGBT notifying members of Wikiproject LGBT Studies of this discussion. Aleta Sing 04:00, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment I don't think "college" in this context means an educational institution, but rather something akin to "association". Aleta Sing 04:00, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete Perhaps it's because it's nearly bedtime, but I don't see any POV; it just seems to report this group's POV in contrast to the POV of another group. That being said, it doesn't appear notable; thanks to Aleta for pointing this out. Nyttend (talk) 04:09, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep - Wikipedia is not censored. While I agree the current version of the article is poorly sourced and draws far too much on the group's own Web site, these problems can be fixed. And with 37 hits on Google news [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?um=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22american+college+of+pediatrics%22] the group is notable. BRMo (talk) 04:11, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete Non-notable. User:BRMo's GNews link links to a search for the American College of Pediatrics, which isn't the same thing as this American College of Pediatricians. This "think tank" isn't an education institution.. it's not a real "college" but a 1-employee front for right wing causes against abortion and gay rights. - ✰ALLST☆R✰ echo 04:26, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

:*Oops, thank you for the correction. A Gnews search with the correct spelling gives me 61 hits [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?um=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22american+college+of+pediatricians%22]. I still think the group is notable. BRMo (talk) 04:38, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
