• Delete as above. I'm sure the intentions are noble, but Wikipedia isn't the place for how-to guides. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:18, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Save Although this is somewhat of a how to guide, it is an encyclopedic entry for group computing projects. Its notable, and good. its actually of better quality than MOST articles. Please Please Please suggest what changes need to me made to make it more encyclopedic, rather than commit this to the bitbucket — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.200.183.146 (talk) 02:59, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is well written, but it's not encyclopedic. Encyclopedias give information on topics; they don't present guides on how to do things. If you wanted to improve the article, it could benefit from a less generic, more descriptive title (such as Group projects in computer science) and wikifying. But I think you'd find all that a waste of time; this is fundamentally unencyclopedic. --BDD (talk) 16:57, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
