Teaching English in Taiwan

This article does not appear to have any notable content and just appears to exist to hang a lot of web links to commercial organisations to it. I therefore propose it is deleted--BozMo talk 15:36, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Delete - just an excuse for advertisements and spammy links Nposs 15:45, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Merge anything salvageable to English language learning and teaching and delete the linkfarm. Otto4711 15:52, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Delete, didn't we have something similar a month back? Alf photoman 17:55, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, similar versions for Hong Kong etc were put in and we didn't pick them all up --BozMo talk 18:00, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Merge 10%, delete the rest per Otto4711 above. This is mostly just a linkfarm (englishintaiwan.com is in the lead with all those inline links). Going beyond that, I am concerned that we don't have enough editors watching the myriad of TEFL/TESOL/etc articles we have for spam and quality problems. See comments and list of articles and AfDs at WikiProject Spam, "Teaching English as a second language -- spambait articles". I'm not advcating mindless deletion, but I think consolidation would help quality issues. And yes, similar AfDs were held for articles about teaching in Italy and Hong Kong. --A.

Merge as per A. B.'s suggestion, info on the English Language page would be more appropriate - across the board for these articles. SkierRMH 21:54, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
