Education Not for Sale
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I have concerns with the references used. For example https://www.theguardian.com/education/mortarboard/2006/mar/24/danielrandalleducationnotf is a primary source written by the campaigner himself. The other two references https://web.archive.org/web/20070829054050/http://www.srcf.ucam.org/camens/ and https://archive.is/20061008073452/http://www.officeronline.co.uk/blogs/sofiebuckland/#selection-463.51-463.113 are also primary sources and look to be blogs.

Some editors also have concerns that Wikipedia is being used as a soapbox (diff) Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 11:18, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment why is this article AfDd four times in less than two weeks? gidonb (talk) 12:54, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Renomination is allowed by Sandstein after a DRVLink added --<i style="font-family:'Rock salt','Comic Sans MS'; color: Green;">Tyw7</i> (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 19:35, 6 August 2018 (UTC). First AFD was closed with 1 vote and 2 afd's were procedural keeps. » Shadowowl  &#124;  talk  13:10, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Following the XfD link at the DRV, this DRV was submitted after AfD #1. AfD #1 was followed by a DRV then by AfD #2 and AfD #3 and now we are already at AfD #4. It sometimes happens in 10 years but this is in 2 weeks! gidonb (talk) 00:02, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually no. Shadow opened AFD 1. Since it was closed with a weak concensus ie with just one keep vote, he opened AFD 2 (at least I think that's the reason). That was swiftly kept. Then he opened the DRV without proper notifications. So I don't know there is a DRV and thus opened AFD 3. There were comments to opened up a DRV first so I closed AFD 3 as withdrawn and opened a DRV up. However, that too was closed after I found Shadow's DRV. And here we are. --<i style="font-family:'Rock salt','Comic Sans MS'; color: Green;">Tyw7</i> (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 06:09, 7 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:NORG. The Guardian source is an interview from a blog hosted on The Guardian. The second source is just their archived website and the third source is also a blog. » Shadowowl  &#124;  talk  13:12, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete in the hope that these foolish AfD nominations will stop. Thincat (talk) 10:36, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Easily fails WP:NORG and has inadequate referencing. A violation of WP:NPOV as well. AmericanAir88 (talk) 13:43, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge into National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts, as the group itself did, then delete leaving a redirect. Rewrite to use past tense. Johnbod (talk) 17:08, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
