This was a wiki module that was inappropriately deleted and very arbitrary. It was created as an "experiment" in collaborative editing by an Instructional Technology class at Wayne State University, and basically it was a bunch of neophytes to Wikimedia projects trying to help each other out. It really is a sub-module to the Instructional Technology wikibook, but unfortunately instead of using naming conventions that were obvious they tended to create each module as a separate Wikibook. I've been trying to consolidate these book modules, and there are a couple that are "orphaned" as well because of weird linking arrangements (sometimes they did a wikibooks link as an external instead of internal link) and the naming style.
When seen as a whole from the Instructional Technology wikibook, it does appear to be much more substantial of a project. The VfD vote was unanimous to keep, but was deleted anyway. Either this whole wikibook goes (Instructional Technology) or this sub-module should be brought back. Perhaps moved to submodule naming conventions afterward. --Rob Horning 02:30, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
Undeleted - Yes I noticed this too. It seems KelvSYC (who deleted it) figured it was primary research, but after I checked (I'd never heard of HPT either), it seems the HPT is a course taught at a number of colleges in the USA. Furthermore after having checked Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/HPT in the Workplace, both voted were to keep. What on earth is going on here? - Aya T C 02:26, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
- Update - Ah. Now I see the problem. It was marked as a speedy, went into a vote, but the vote evidently got overlooked. Can admins please check that speedy deletions meet the speedy deletion criteria in Wikibooks:Deletion policy and Wikibooks:About before performing a deletion. This may involve a bit of googling to check that these alleged 'primary research' pages actually are 'primary research'. Don't implicitly trust the people who mark them as speedies.
- I shall be taking a look through other things in the deletion list to see if anything else slipped through the net. - Aya T C 02:37, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
- FYI: The new link (after moving to more current naming standards) is: Instructional Technology/HPT in the Workplace The above link is no longer valid but does not need to be undeleted.--Rob Horning 03:04, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
