Contested PROD. Reasoning was that while there are some sources that use this term, there doesn't seem to be anything written about this term. Article is therefore original research on a non-notable neologism, and does not cite any reliable sources. Article's creator apparently thought peppering the article with ((fact)) tags would make up for the lack of sources. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:51, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MERGE - Beeblebrox. I see you have recommended the entire article for deletion on the basis that it is a non-notable neologism. Having reviewed the criteria for notability and neologisms, I see that this article more fully falls under the auspices of the article on continuing medical education and does not merit its own article. With your consensus, I will move the content for promotional education, defined as "non-CME" education activity, to the CME page. I would like to add additional insight to the CME page about non-accredited medical education and cover additional information regarding the public debate over industry sponsorship of educational activities^[1]. Let me know if this is an amenable solution. I apologize if I have created a controversial thread as I have not been trying to create debate or contention. Thanks, Pnautilus (talk) 16:52, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• That sounds like a fine idea, I'll redirect it to Continuing medical education. And no need to apologize, these things happen all over Wikipedia all the time. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:28, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
