• It's almost certainly a copyvio, too. Delete and redirect somewhere appropriate. — Haeleth Talk 16:37, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• I don't think this is a copyvio or advertising for that matter. "Assistand teacher" is a well-established, as far as I know non-profit, programme in most German universities. It can be part of the formal training for future teachers. Many students go abroad in English-speaking countries as assitant teachers, so it might be a good idea to have an entry for this.
• Delete per nom. I just have done a bit of cleanup; Keep and cleanup further. --BorgQueen 08:47, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Thanks BorgQueen for the revision. Seems like an adaquate topic for an encyclopedia, and I believe further revisions will prove this article a welcome addition to Wikipedia. --JJLeahy 23:50, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Being an University exchange programme, Assistant teacher is no advertising! Nobody makes profit with it! All the information provided is taken from official pages (like the Goethe-Institut and the British Council)out of the public domain. Therefore it is not justified to delete the article.84.173.136.127 10:44, 25 November 2005 (UTC)dichse[reply]
• For those who want the article to be deleted: What could/should I change in order to save the article? Just tell me! This was my first attempt to write an entry for Wikipedia! Give me your reasons-give me a clue!!!Thank youDichse 11:24, 25 November 2005 (UTC)dichse[reply]
  • I just attempted a cleanup, trying to make it sound less promotional. I think the article name should be rather "Assistant teacher programme of the Educational Exchange Service" (or attach any other relevant institution's name) since the term Assistant teacher is only meaningful in that particular context. Otherwise the term will be too general, leading to misunderstanding. And it is not a good idea to include how much the person gets paid, etc. If this article eventually gets deleted I suggest you start a new article with the name I recommended above, keeping in line with the layout convention, etc. --BorgQueen 13:53, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete as there is first of all no copyvio on this page as this would require a copyright in respect to the passages which might be taken from other pages. An "assistant teacher" in the sense dicussed on this page is part of the so-called Comenius assistantship of the European Commission, which is a solely non-economical exchange programme which began in 1995 intended to enhance intercultural understanding within the European Union. The "salary" paid is no more than a usual scholarship in an European exchange programme supporting the mobility of young people.--Lebkuchenbäcker 21:00, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, improve; this describes a documented position and government-backed training program of apparent cultural note in Germany. MCB 05:20, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
