Marxian International University
Abdul Nizam - Original Creator speaking: Of course i'm observing you guys and your 'tremendous' response! as i said i do not have anything more than a few dollars [even < 5!] to use the web at cybercafes and thus engage in a FULL SCALE ACADEMIC DEBATE with EVERYONE of YOU great scholars of the universe. As soon as i do find my MEANS i will. Untill such time i'll leave it to EVERY MARXIAN COMRADE WORLDAROUND. Bye for now ~ abdulnizam@mail.com.

I've tried to be patient, and have even solicited justifications for keeping this directly from the original contributor. Here are the points in WB:WIW that this page violates:


 * Wikibooks is not a free wiki host or webspace provider
 * He is trying to establish a labor union of Wikibooks users. Interesting idea, but why???  Have admins become that hard-nosed that we don't listen to ordinary Wikibook users and readers?


 * Wikibooks is not a soapbox
 * Clearly this violates NPOV standards on multiple levels, and espouses a very particular point of view and promotes a specific political philosophy.

I am placing this on the VfD page mainly to give a final push to have the user justify why this content could be on Wikibooks and what value it might have for the larger Wikibooks community. --Rob Horning 11:55, 3 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry to say, but I have to agree. Aside from the rude point that the author has added it to the "New Books" template twice, the fact that the formatting is obnoxious 'and the fact that the page is, at the moment, simply a listing of external links, lead me to vote it to be deleted. If you want to add a course in marxism at the school of ecomonics or something, that would be fine by me, but this does feel to preachy to me to be a valid wikibooks resource. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 17:07, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
