*Keep Article needs to be rebuilt and referenced, but this is an obviously-notable figure per WP:ACADEMIC #s 1, 4, 5, and 7. At least some of the info deleted from the article just prior to AFD nomination was easily verified. Best path to a useful article may just be to revert to Oct 2011 revision and verify references. Celtechm (talk) 02:57, 11 August 2012 (UTC) Make that Speedy Keep - I'v re-built the page back into a stub with some semblance of meaningful info. A simple Scholar search reveals 5800 citations for one influential paper authored in 1980, and I've included links to the feature story about him by PBS and info on his directorship at JHU. There's more out there to be encyclopedic, but this should easily address the notability concern. Celtechm (talk) 22:26, 14 August 2012 (UTC) 
 * Added Note - Aother quick link to address "depth" of RS coverage. Cite his interview by PBS: http://www.pbs.org/makingschoolswork/sbs/sfa/slavin.html Celtechm (talk) 18:23, 11 August 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Celtechm (talk • contribs) 05:14, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep A Google Scholar search shows that Slavin's Success For All (SFA) program is well-discussed in the education field. I've added one such article whose authors do not include the subject.  I, Jethrobot  drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 08:32, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
