Positive and negative reinforcement

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article is a fork of Reinforcement. It is an orphan and works better described in the context of reinforcement. May be worth merging the "in the classroom" example into reinforcement maybe at Reinforcement. The only counter consideration is that reinforcement is getting very long. It might be worth having a new "reinforcement applications" article as there are so many applications - for example see search for "positive reinforcement" in Wikipedia.

 * Delete as being redundant to the Reinforcement page. I don't see anything in here that's worth saving. This reads like a textbook/essay, not an encyclopedia page. FuriouslySerene (talk) 20:33, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as a WP:CONTENTFORK of Reinforcement. Anything that is salvageable can be merged to the articles suggested above. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:42, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm inclined to take FuriouslySerene's line on this. The "in the classroom" text is a flabby example rather than a tight application. Also reinforcement is long enough already.--Penbat (talk) 09:11, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete at best as there's currently nothing to suggest a keepable encyclopedia article. SwisterTwister   talk  04:18, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
