General Weighted Average

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The concept of weighted averages is in use across a variety of disciplines. This article relates to a specific discipline in a specific country. It might be more useful if the incoming links are redirected to the general page Weighted mean Peaky76 (talk) 22:46, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Weighted mean, of which it is a derivative of. It's a possible search term, but it's a concept that's only specific to a single country, so an article for it isn't necessary. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:03, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, not to a country, but most probably specific only to the University of the Philippines system. It's certainly not used in UST. Either redirect to University of the Philippines, or to weighted mean; leaning to the former, as I don't see any evidence that the exact phrase "General Weighted Average" is a predominantly used term to denote "weighted mean". –H T D 13:37, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

By the way HTD, since I'm going to study in UP starting this June, I need something to be clarified: isn't it the UPG, not the GWA? Or is the UPG only for entrance exams? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 20:49, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

UPG means "University Predicted Grade". –H T D 03:33, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Academic grading in the Philippines. I'm not opposed to the other suggestions here, I just think this is the better article to redirect to. Delete is not an unreasonable outcome either. If I came across the phrase "general weighted average" I would assume it is the same as "weighted mean", but the phrase doesn't seem to be commonly used except in the Philippines education system.

Delete for now, I did a quick view of the meaning of GWA at Google Books and it describes different things aside from Academic grading. --Lenticel ^(talk) 03:11, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
