The result was speedy delete and salt. We do have article pairs whose titles differ only in capitalisation but it is a bad idea especially here. Any differences between capitalised and un-capitalised names can be described within the article with the uncapitalised title. Or if Yuanliangliu really insists on a fork, that can be proposed on the talk page and agreed first. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:11, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

We already have self-directed education. This article is about one non-notable organization's unilateral redefinition of an existing generic phrase, and, incidentally, capitalizing it in the process. Not notable. Largoplazo (talk) 12:49, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * User:Largoplazo, did you notice that the other article you mentioned also has been nominated for deletion? I do not see any indication, based on the text in the articles, that either subject (with or without capital letters) is notable, but I haven't tried searching for additional sources. --Stefan2 (talk) 12:57, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I just noticed that. As of the previous time I'd looked, that article had been reduced to barely a stub about, well, literally, self-directed education, and the focus on the specific topics for which this one organization has appropriated the phrase was gone. I guess someone should merge the discussions but I don't have time to attend to it right this moment. Largoplazo (talk) 12:59, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Now RAHaworth has deleted this copy of it. Yeah, WP:CSD A10 would also have applied. Largoplazo (talk) 13:01, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, wait, the AFD tag on that article is pointing at this discussion. I'm adding it here. Largoplazo (talk) 13:02, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * It looks as if User:RHaworth only moved the page and possibly deleted the other page, but the logs are confusing. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:04, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
