Athletic scholarship
It's a bitter POV dictionary definition. - squibix 15:02, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. - squibix 15:02, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as rewritten. Yay! - squibix 21:44, 12 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Scholarship - Bobet 15:21, 12 November 2005 (UTC) -> Change to Keep since rewritten article expands on the definition in the Scholarship article. - Bobet 18:04, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Scholarship mdd4696 15:37, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above: that article already contains a paragraphs saying that &ldquo;the recipient (of the scholarship) may be determined by students’ athletic, academic, artistic or other abilities.&rdquo;. Current article says just this + POV + OR. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) Keep the rewritten version. Paolo Liberatore (Talk) 18:03, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but rewrite. Athletic scholarships are a class all their own, deserving of separate article to cover their origins, nuances of NCAA regulation, famous instances of manipulation, and to contrast the critiques raised in the article as it stands with the perspective that athletic scholarships provide educational opportunities to students who otherwise might not have them at all.

 * Note - mad rewrite begun. BD2412  T 17:07, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep with major cleanup/rewrite. Certainly more than a dicdef. Possibly a future subsection of Scholarship, but probably best as a separate article per BD2412. Turnstep 16:51, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand; many issues related to this should be taken up here. Karol 17:29, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep if rewritten (already in progress) Punkmorten 17:30, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
