Public lecturesEdit

Seems like advertising to me, a candidate for wiktionary at best. --InShaneee 16:05, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Tautology. And parochial to boot. This isn't it, but there is something to be said on the topic of public lectures (c.f. Royal Institution) particularly their contribution to modern thinking (such as the effect of public autopsies on medicine). Keep, Move to public lecture, and send to Cleanup.

Once you take out the advert, you're left with a statement that public lectures are lectures for the public. In other words, there is absolutely nothing here to cleanup, we'd be requesting an article from scratch. But a good article on the history of public lectures is probably a good thing to have, ~~so Delete and list on requested articles~~. Average Earthman 23:53, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Good rewrite by Uncle G. The revised article is a keep. Average Earthman 12:44, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I was also left with the external link. ☺ Modified Article. Uncle G 20:22, 2005 Jan 26 (UTC)
~~This could be a decent subject, but the current text is spam. Delete, unless it's cleaned up. -- Scott e^iπ + 1 = 0 00:27, Jan 26, 2005 (UTC)~~ Seeing the spam text replaced with acceptable content, I change my vote to keep. -- Scott e^iπ + 1 = 0 06:13, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
Delete and list on requested articles. Concur with Average Earthbeing's reasons. Barno 05:07, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Delete & list on requested articles. Agreed w/ Average Earthman. Wile E. Heresiarch 06:28, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Keep, the cleaned up and expanded article looks good. Megan1967 23:55, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Mikkalai has done the move. Xe forgot to move this page as well in order to keep the {{subst:vfd}} link intact, which I've just done. Uncle G 12:14, 2005 Jan 28 (UTC)
