 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   merge to State University of New York at Potsdam. The article is written in inappropriate tone and the name is not backed by sources. However, the topic is somehow relevant so the best option here is a merge to the parent article. Tone 19:44, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Potsdam Miracle

This is pure synthesis and original research. No sources calling it the "Potsdam Miracle" found at Google news, books, nor through searches on Lexis or Westlaw. The two Google scholar sources doesn't seem like enough. Ricky81682 (talk) 20:09, 5 August 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, JForget  22:21, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect – seems like a natural fit for a merge of relevant information and redirect to State University of New York at Potsdam as they are the main subject of the article.  Thanks. ShoesssS Talk 20:28, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete purely promotional, nothing appropriate for merging or even redirect. So promotional that I would consider it eligible for speedy G11.    DGG ( talk ) 03:32, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - even though it is referred to in : American Mathematical Monthly, 2003,and MD Shepherd - PRIMUS, 2005. Thanks ShoesssS Talk 11:50, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge to the article on SUNY Potsdam; no sign this warrants an independent article. &mdash; Carl (CBM · talk) 03:12, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to State University of New York at Potsdam (but needs editing down too). Doesn't merit a separate article, nor is this an appropriate title – I expected it to be about a perceptible interruption of the laws of nature in the capital city of the German federal state of Brandenburg.

 * Keep CLEARLY noteable. On a quick literary search, The Potsdam model is is the subject of published works, and also turns up multiple hits as a reference source. Lots of unique google hits. Don't under stand the G11 suggestion - this is not a product it is an event that occurred. all this needs is some cleanup to wikify. RayBarker (talk) 16:36, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I don't know if the name is the most appropriate (somewhat POV naming), but it's a mistake to say delete just because that exact phrase doesn't appear in many articles.  The topic of why Potsdam has been successful (according to certain metrics) in mathematics when previously it was not is a subject of great interest and debate in math education.  It surely deserves its own article, and I think it'd be a trifle odd to have a large section on it in the SUNY Potsdam article.  For example, any debate about the merits of the Potsdam model would definitely not be appropriate there.  But obviously this article could use expansion and cleanup (and possibly moving to a different name).  --C S (talk) 02:52, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep.` - notable subject, verifiable. Mukadderat (talk) 22:30, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
