Anger and optimism

This was tagged for proposed deletion by Blanchardb with the following rationale. "Stub presenting the findings of one study as absolute truth. ("Research shows..." without specifying what kind of research)." I agree with that assessment and I also feel that there's little evidence that this is an encyclopedic topic to begin with. On the talk page, one user has explained that this page will be updated weekly as part of a course but if the topic is not a valid one for an article, then this class project is just using Wikipedia as a free web host and collaboration platform. If kept, this should at the very least be moved into user space until it has developed. Pichpich (talk) 03:35, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, but let the creator have the text as it existed at the time of deletion. Wikipedia is no place to post schoolwork. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 02:04, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Seems to have been created in good faith, but the current article reads like a short essay. It can be userfied if the author still wants it.--xanchester (t) 00:14, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
