Protector of Emigrants Pakistan (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

This page is "how to" guide on dealing with Pakistani emigration procedures. WP:NOT violation at the very least. Kww 00:55, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. We're not a howto page. Perhaps put this on Wikihow? --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 01:17, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Delete breaks WP:NOT, WP:OR, gives Legal Advice, and a bunch of other absolutely unacceptable stuff. --Lucid 01:32, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd be concerned about the legal advice, but I'm not sure anything there is a valid speedy rationale. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 20:43, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment is this a government agency or a private firm? If the former, it might be worth keeping, though in that case it would need a rewrite. cab 02:13, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Protector of Emigrants appears to be a government agency ("all emigrants must get their passports stamped by the Protector"), but this article is not as much about this agency as it is a general how-to on emigrating out of Pakistan. Resurgent insurgent 02:19, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Protector of Emigrants is a government agency. This article is purposfuly written to help people dealing with the agency. This helps them understand the process and easily do what they want.
    • Then the page belongs on WikiHow, not Wikipedia. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 20:43, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:NOT#HOWTO . Not a place for walkthroughs like this Corpx 04:59, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. Maxamegalon2000 05:07, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep the page. The purpose of wiki pedia is to provide information to its readers. This page is serving the same purpose and written to help alot of people. Keeping the page will definatly give the site more fame. This will also encourage people to put information pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.59.70.171 (talk • contribs)
  • No, it isn't the purpose of Wikipedia is to make a free encyclopedia. See also WP:USEFUL --Lucid 08:47, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I tried to figure out a speedy rationale for this page last week, and couldn't find one. It is, however, a How-To page, and therefore violates WP:NOT#HOW. I've just reverted vandalism which removed the AfD link from the page. AlexTiefling 12:02, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The same IP previously blanked this page. Silly me for not looking at the article to see if anything had been done there. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 12:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
