dont delete

Two reasons for deletion: the title and its associated content really don't make any sense--one can figure out from the references what such a topic might be, though: something like "there was an outcry over some exam." Reason two follows from there: WP:NOTNEWS. Drmies (talk) 23:05, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Doesn't appear to serve any real purpose; looks like sombodies draft of a school article which would fall under WP:NOTWEBHOST Half  Shadow  23:08, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * HalfShadow, thanks for helping clean that up. I guess school was out somewhere! Drmies (talk) 23:12, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: Seems the facebook group should stay on facebook. I agree with Drmies. Jared Preston (talk) 23:11, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. This page is required to contain the group who have already tried fiddling with other pages to express their views. This way it can remain relatively un-biased and not impact on people who don't want to see it —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pigmyshrew (talk • contribs) 23:20, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * You seem to have a misinterpretation as to what Wikipedia is. We're not here so you can 'express your views', we're here to be an encyclopedia. Half  Shadow  23:29, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * This is the best way to keep them from messing about with other articles, nobody will go near it un-intentionally due to the ridiculous title —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pigmyshrew (talk • contribs) 00:00, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Like the article itself, this doesn't make any sense at all. Drmies (talk) 02:16, 29 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete: Per WP:NOT. Joe Chill (talk) 01:08, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. This article is based upon the AQA Biology Unit 4 paper sat by just under 20'000 students on the 25th of January 2010. The paper caused immediate concern amongst both students and teachers alike causing the creating of a Facebook group which has since gathered over 13'000 supporters who believe that the exam "was a disgrace". - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:46, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: Mainly per WP:NOTNEWS, but also because I can't see it being written in a way that is encyclopedic. Not enough sourced, objective, notable information on the subject. PenguinCopter (talk) 17:12, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: it wasn't written in an encyclopedic tone, and looks like an essay or a personal analysis. It's well-covered by the media, but it's unlikely to be a constant subject in the news, in a way that would make it suitable for inclusion. Victão Lopes  I hear you... 19:39, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: The issue is complex and simply giving a subjective version of the controversy is not appropriate. There are many reasons why these students are posting on facebook, perhaps their teachers didn't prepare them properly for the exam. Many appear to be simply joining in with the mob. Until the students receive their results and OFQUAL has reported on the situation this article should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shrewsrus (talk • contribs) 20:42, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
