:If by "article deletion stuff" you mean "don't discuss how primary/secondary sources impact [[WP:Notability]]", I disagree. I think that is something this essay ''should'' discuss. To me, the focus/topic of this essay should be inclusive... "Primary/secondary sources - ''what'' they are used for and ''how'' to use them appropriately - also how they can be misused and how to avoid doing so".

::I think that we need to address secondary-for-notability directly, because the odd, non-standard definition in play at AFD is where most editors get their first training on what a secondary source is. Then they wander out to the rest of the encyclopedia and get completely confused and often upset when someone points out that yesterday's 'eyewitness news' story actually isn't a secondary source.
