Original research, signed by someone probably not the author, reads like a copyvio (note that the original poster posted a copyvio at Business Analyst). RickK 00:32, 11 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

  • Most of the article is taken up with a list of job descriptions. (By the way, none of them describe what I do and, yes, this year my title is Business Analyst). There might be the kernel of a usable article here but I don't see it. The term is just too broadly used to be definable. You would have to include all of business. Tentative delete.

    • There may be room in wiki for an article about Business analysis, but I doubt it will stem from this one. I agree with RickK, reads like an obvious copyVio. Delete. --Starx 02:22, 11 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. User appears to be on something of a rampage, actually, posting job descriptions of various sorts. I've posted to his talk page asking him politely to look into how he might edit the articles to be a better fit for this project. We'll see what, if anything he does. That said, an admin might want to keep an eye on him and see if he's responsive to criticism or if he's just single-mindedly going to add these articles no matter what we say. In any case, let's get this one sorted out sooner, rather than later, before we have another 43 article mess a la the Xena vandal from a few days back? Snowspinner 06:13, 11 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm now fairly convinced we're dealing with copyvio. He's creating new articles at a breathtaking rate. If it's not sorted by tomorrow, I'll deal with getting these all on VfD. Snowspinner 06:16, 11 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
      • I consider this vandalism and have listed it as such on Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress - hopefully all these pages he has created will be speedily deleted. --Stormie 06:23, May 11, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, including all the poor job descriptions linked from that page. An article on business analysis would be fine, but not this non-encyclopedic text and copying of meaningless job titles and descriptions. Lupo 06:46, 11 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Blocked for one hour, with a message. I am speedy deleting the spam. silsor 07:17, May 11, 2004 (UTC)

  • This article needs a major rewrite, otherwise, delete. mydogategodshat 09:10, 12 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Awful. -- EuroTom 23:38, 13 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Agree with Lupo totally. -- Stevietheman 01:16, 15 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
