Scholarship controversy in the United States

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Essay that fails WP:NOTESSAY and WP:NOTGUIDE While it is sourced, it offers advice as to how individuals in various groups should apply for aid and comes close to expressing normative views on the issues in some cases, making it a non-encyclopedic essay in some parts and guide in others. Other articles already exist that cover financial aid in US higher education, and information about any controversies can be added there. TonyBallioni (talk) 22:12, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Note this appears to be an essay as part of a class project. I haven't come across this before so not sure what the best way to proceed is. I still think my concerns above are true and that the article shouldn't exist in the mainspace, but not sure if userfying or moving to draft would be better.

 * Delete - simply because something is sourced, doesn't mean it belongs. This is definitely an essay, and includes a great deal of commentary and WP:OR.  Onel 5969  TT me 16:26, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looks more like someone's homework assignment than an encyclopedia article. Bradv  05:42, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
