Transportation inequality in the United States

Article appears to be a part of a class project. I recommend userfying the article back to with an admonition about original research. Also recommend that Wikimedia Foundation remind Kent State University of article guidelines. — Jkudlick t c s 03:26, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - Reads as an essay, not an encyclopedia article. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 18:37, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is definitely a topic worthy of inclusion in this encyclopedia (see e.g. this article in The Atlantic and this article at p. 167 of the Transportation Law Journal). I agree that the article needs a thorough copy edit, but I don't think it is so bad that we need to break out the WP:TNT. I think userfying could also be a potential solution, but again, I don't think this article is so fundamentally flawed that it needs to be removed from mainspace. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 21:25, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Article has established notability with appropriate references. Thisisnotatest (talk) 08:07, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. There may be a possibility for an article here, but the current one is just an essay, and the rule is WP:SYNTHESIS.. People in the ed program need to learn the difference between the synthesis of facts that can be acceptable in a term paper, and an encyclopedia article. Even the Atlanticarticle cited above is about a s special aspect, not the general concept.  DGG ( talk ) 03:15, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
