List of issues in K-12 education in the United States

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This list has a lot of problems to it. For one, I feel like it is an WP:INDISCRIMINATE collection of information, because it just seems like a haphazard list of just about anything that could be vaguely related to education. With an exception of a handful of items, I don't even see how this is specifically related to the United States... The important issues that actually have a strong correlation to education in the US can be found at Education in the United States. This list does nothing to address any of the "issues" listed, and more importantly the why. Tavix | Talk  03:33, 17 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete - merging anything relevant to Education in the United States. It would seem that more than anything, the article is trying to serve as a list of existing and desired articles; the sort we might normally see in WP space under the umbrella of a particular WikiProject. In that regard, it has some usefulness as a navigation aid but the list of included topics seems so indiscriminate that I'm not sure how truly useful it would be (bus, data, building and humour are all included).

 * re "issues" & merging: the title is a bit confusing. This is the list of "topics". "Issues" means something urgent, pressing. And there is nothing to merge to "Education in the United States#Issues": it is a list, with not a shred of coherent text to merge. -M.Altenmann >t 19:10, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's right, and I was more talking about coverage of any topics not currently covered there. But if there isn't anything to "merge" (in the traditional sense) then there isn't anything to merge and I can accept that. I'd also be comfortable with you idea of moving this to project space (as I outlined).  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 21:43, 24 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment - in theory, this might work as an Outline article, or part thereof. Perhaps a move or merge might be in order. Bearian (talk) 21:34, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Move without redirect to WP:WikiProject Education namespace, if they want it. It may be useful for the WikiProject in organizing their work, but otherwise the list is quite arbitrary and hardly useful. -M.Altenmann >t 19:07, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd certainly support that.  St ★ lwart 1 1 1 21:43, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I left that WikiProject a note on their talk page. We shall see... Tavix | Talk  22:49, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. WP:EDU member checking in. I don't think this will be useful to the project. Anything we would use is already tagged with the WikiProject. It's too haphazard (as already stated) with many redirects and arbitrary inclusions like "supplies". Anyway, thanks for the thought. czar ⨹   20:39, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
