This is another great example of needing a CSD for WP:NOT#HOWTO and WP:ESSAY. All original research here, written in second person and instructional tone. This is not a valid encyclopedic article. — Timneu22 · talk 13:48, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Be careful when being so quick to nominate a article for deletion, especially an article with a template such as the one present. I agree that it has some flaws but I think that it could be reworked. Perhaps userfication is a good option here? I think it could potentially be useful to have an article about what the iPhone application development process is, as long as that article isn't a "how-to". This would require a substantial bit of reworking, but would certainly be possible. So my short answer is userfy, but with instructions. ~Gosox(55)(55) 14:15, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I agree that this nomination was made far too quickly after the creation of the article, but it certainly seems that this article is going to be a WP:HOWTO. It's unlikely that an encyclopedic article about this topic could ever exist. SnottyWong comment 14:39, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply: I have argued at CSD that there should be "criteria for speedy userfication." In any case, this article requires a full rewrite to become encyclopedic, so I don't think the nomination was too quick. Advertising pages that require full rewrites are deleted immediately. — Timneu22 · talk 14:59, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Agree with Gosox5555 whilst the article is a how-to currently, the subject itself may well be of note and has potential for a decent article. --neon white talk 15:13, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
