Community Education

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Only contains a vague definition of "community education", appears to address a Scottish perspective, so could perhaps be renamed "Community education in Scotland", though would still need rewriting. I vote to delete. Jonathan Oldenbuck 11:31, 31 August 2007 (UTC) 
 * Keep The article definitely needs expansion (it is, after all, a stub), but the subject is definitely notable, and the current revision is so brief that it doesn't make improvements difficult to perform. User: (talk • contribs • count) 13:59, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

 * weak keep Seems like a promising stub. I would hesitate to rename (based on the Scottish perspective) since that would only reduce the subject's general relevance and notability. Sheffield Steel talkersstalkers 20:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Could be a good article with some hard work. Djmckee1  -  Talk - Sign  20:39, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * strong, SPEEDY delete There isn't even enough here to make a stub. There's not even a valid, informative definition of the term "Community Education" as it is meant by the article's creator.  "People study this topic in school" is not helpful information.  There's not even one reliable source offered.  Let's clear this one off the encyclopedia and send the article's creator back to the drawing board.  A "good idea for an article" is not the same as a "good article" and not even the same as a stub.  If someone thinks of a good topic for an article but can't do enough work to get the article off to a proper start, then the place to go is Requested articles.  This is not even a "good start."

 * Weak Keep, has just enough for a stub but really needs some desperate expansion and referencing. Wouldn't recommend moving either, for the reason stated by SheffieldSteel. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 02:45, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep We can't just delete something because it is a poorly written stub, that would be silly. Darkcraft 12:18, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand The first Google hist for "Community Education" include several outside Scotland so this shouldn't be made Scottish specific. Timrollpickering 12:39, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - I tagged it for WP:ICU as the subject is apparentely notable but the article is clearly lacking. I'll try to work on it today.  1 redrun  Talk 09:04, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - this is an important concept in education, even though it is defined differently in different education systems. There are enough good sources. Article is in intensive care, good idea. Itsmejudith 15:22, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, Retitle and expand The current name derives from a primitive version of the article. From Google Scholar, the standard terminology is "community-based education" This may have accounted for some of the difficulty in sourcing. I have added some references with freely-accessible full-text as a start.DGG (talk) 16:59, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
