Budget debate[edit]

A new format for academic debating competitions. Idea generated by Siddharth Mehta and written up here by user:Siddharth171287. (Edits on the same subject to be undone in debate and Template:University debating.) — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 22:51, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am revising my delete proposal to: Redirect to Budget Day. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 12:52, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It may be a new format for school debating societies, but it's a centuries old idea in parliamentary democracy. See Budget Day for what real Budget debates are all about. Ironically, the first source cited in this article, whilst not supporting this content in any way, would support the beginnings of an "In India" section in Budget Day, since it provides several verifiable facts about Budget Days in India.

Delete - Promotion by single purpose account of a ~~recent~~ idea that doesn't meet notability yet, and that "Institutes of National Importance" reference link seems fishy too although it doesn't even help to establish this article's notability anyway.

Point One -- Abt Budget Day - if you see a googlepages alfaaz link given , you will see that the Budet debate is like making a business plan / or more like a AOE game where teams are given funds to manage, After reading the scenario given in rule booklet you will realise that its way above the standard of School debate.

Secondly "Institute of National Importance" clause is mentioned in constitution of India. These few institutes are fully overnment funded and any practice adopted by these institutes is regarded as guidelines to rest all colleges of India. To check credibility of IIT's and status in India , I would suggest you all to just read about it once on wikipedia itself. Lastly is there a compulsion that things now practised in West wont get mention in Wikipedia , if Australian Debate can mention, debatin done in Australia, y is it wrong for Budget Debate I Hope you will change your mindset now and vote in favour —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siddharth171287 (talk • contribs) 20:20, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Siddharth, for the benefit of us ignorant Europeans perhaps you could explain what an AOE game is. You say "googlepages alfaaz link given" but you have not given us the link! It is this PDF. It tells us that a budget debate is "being held for the first time anywhere as a full fledged event, on 21st – 22nd March 2009". That pretty well condemns your article on the grounds of original research / CRYSTAL. I fear the idea will not catch on, at least using your rules: they make Mornington Crescent seem simple! — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 12:52, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I wasn't sure on reading the article whether this was what went on in the Parliament or a debating society. I assume from comments above it's debating society. It's not one we did at school (we had parliamentary elections and criminal trials, etc), but I would imagine it's been done already. Not a lot of indication of notability.

Delete. Looks like this should be deleted or merged with a parent topic. Chicken Wing (talk) 19:35, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
