Conversion of canal water into drinking water

This "article" is poorly written and not encyclopaedic. It seems to promote one person's vague opinion, without any real content, sense of direction, or purpose.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Leevclarke (talk • contribs)

• Delete Textbook case of original research. Wikipedia is not a place to put up your essays on whatever you happen to want to write on. --Wingsandsword 00:40, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I am sorry to say…why wasn’t this tagged for “Speedy” as nonsense. Shoessss |  Chat  20:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is the first time I have nominated an article for deletion, and I really didn't want to be too hasty. I will look into "speedy deletion" candidates in more detail. ;-) I think this should go as soon as possible, and I did want to mark it some way at least that would get people more powerful than me to pay attention.

• Delete, it's an essay. I'll check around for a speedy rationale. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 22:28, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, came across this while copy-editing. Doesn't seem to provide much useful information that isn't available elsewhere. Have corrected some spelling/grammar in the meantime.Kateshortforbob 10:51, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The concluding sentence... "Units which automatically draw in and purify canal water would provide a healthier drinking supply for millions of people."... suggests that this was a an assignment for someone in high school or even junior high or elementary school. No doubt, it got an "A", but it's not a Wikipedia article. Purification of water is an important topic and probably covered elsewhere. Mandsford 13:13, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just checked. It is. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 22:52, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
