Educational inequality in Southeast Michigan

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article represents a WP:NARROWCAT. There is already an article for Educational inequality in the United States; the inequality in Southeast Michigan specifically is not notable in its own right. Stonkaments (talk) 18:50, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. This article seems to focus mostly on the Detroit school system, whose failures are not a result of educational inequality caused by the rest of Southeast Michigan or the state's educational department as a whole.  This article is too narrow and contains a lot of irrelevant and arguably useless information.  —Notorious4life (talk) 19:23, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. This article is reasonably well written and well sourced. I also don't think it's that narrow (though, perhaps it should be named "Education inequality in Detroit, Michigan" since that appears to be the focus on the article).  At a minimum, as an alternative to deletion, it should be merged into a related article, such as Detroit Public Schools Community District, Detroit, or Michigan.  But I also think it could stand on its own.  DocFreeman24 (talk) 06:11, 16 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete an article that leads with an over 50 year old report when Michigan totally restructured its spending and funding rules for schools in the mid-1990s is so out of touch with present reality as to be a total insult to understanding the topic at hand.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:12, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong keep according to Docfreema24 suggestions. Well support this to be kept either with maintenance tags. Mr-5  / M ✉  /   C🖋 16:17, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep and trout the nominator for bringing an obviously notable topic (did you look at the citations in the article?) to AfD. Since it does focus mostly on Detroit, I would support a move to clarify the topic. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  23:32, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
