 * Keep - Regardless of being done for a school assignment, the question to ask is: is it a notable subject? Yes, it is a subject referred to in a number of scholarly works.  Is the subject encyclopedic? Yes.  Perhaps the article, as written, does not fit current Wikipedia standards for prose, reference style, and so forth... it does read a little like an essay, but these are problems that can be fixed without deleting the entire article. I do note that it seems to be well sourced, so that shouldn't even be a problem.  Reword the thing to be in a more encyclopedic style, and we're golden. Fieari (talk) 07:14, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - regardless of the current content, the subject is notable and has been the subject of scholarly works including . JMWt (talk) 15:22, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - However, the article needs to be integrated with pages of the similar topic. Yoshiman6464 (talk) 01:08, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm concerned because most of the information is sourced from a single book with a title similar to this article/essay, and thus would could have a copyright problem. Bearian (talk) 19:44, 19 May 2016 (UTC) Also, it is oddly capitalized and that raises a second red flag. Bearian (talk) 19:45, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
