Is this really encyclopedic? Obviously if we wish to retain our reputation as The Encyclopedia that Slashdot built then it will be useful, but one company's interviewing process (not significantly different from many others) is hardly worth of a real encyclopedia.

Hmm... if you don't feel that it is needed; then request a deletion. Unless you can name any other large compaines that use unusual interview techniques, I would say that it should stay. But feel free to leave another comment! 14:47, 9 September 2005 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.122.56.139 (talk • contribs) 14:47, 9 September 2005

WHOAH, what happened, this page used to list lots of quirky facts about the unusual questions microsoft would ask people, and why. now its like an infomercial for prospective future employees. someone change it back!! -scared casual user, 1 nov 2005 PS - its annoying how so many compaines are sticking near advertisements in wikipedia entries.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.168.58.201 (talk • contribs) 13:09, 1 November 2005

No no no! It's not Microsoft or another company that posted this entry. In the candidate for deletion entry, the creator of this article said he only created because there was not a link to "Microsoft Interview" and was just acting on good faith to contribute.

This sounds like infomercial advertising to me...--Dwarf Kirlston 15:34, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Not a link to microsoft interview" is not the reason it was kept. It was kept because of notability, deriving from it's innovation. Little of which is shown in the current article. The current article would perhaps would be better off as "Microsoft Recruitment Practices" (there isn't a link to that either is there?)--Dwarf Kirlston 21:25, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I came here from the Microsoft article hoping to find some examples of their quirky questioning technique, only to find a piece riddled (IMHO) with NPOV points and OR. As a new editor I don't trust myself enough to attempt a resurrection of the original unbiased edit. Plus I don't know if the editor(s) concerned were genuinely working in good faith.
