Unencyclopedic POV essay. KuyaBriBri^Talk 15:47, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article deals with Colorado legislation and its implications, as well as at least one possible amendment. POV concerns can be addressed by editing the article. The topic is an encyclopedic one. -- Eastmain (talk) 17:48, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Although an important issue, this is not really the proper form for an encyclopedia article. The information chould be included in an article on the Colorado educational system or on illegal immigrants in Colorado or something. Northwestgnome (talk) 05:25, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep An important discussion on the legislation in Colorado. Were there an appropriate article, I would vote to merge it, but I do not see any appropriate article for this information. RayJazz21 (talk) 10:27, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- This is an essay, not an encyclopedic article. Part of the info could be included in an Education in Colorado article.--24.201.13.148 (talk) 22:02, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as an essay, Wikipedia is not your own personal publishing source. 2 says you, says two 19:37, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Pending a complete rewrite. The tone of the "article" is not appropriate, but the subject remains notable. Handschuh-^{talk to me} 08:00, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, not encyclopedic. Rather than fixing this essay, the topic should be covered in a more general article about Colorado or U.S. college education, since the subject of in-state tuition is not well-covered in Wikipedia. --Colfer2 (talk) 20:18, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't deny that there is a problem with the way the legislation is being used. Nor is the issue unique to Colorado. I just don't believe that the Wikipedia is the proper place to be raising it as an issue. Wikipedia is not a bandstand or soapbox. Even if the , lack of citations, and poor grammar problems were solved, I don't believe that the issue is notable. Notability under the guidelines has not been established, but even if coverage in reliable secondary sources were to be found, a discussion would seem to be better applied in the Impact section of a Toll v. Moreno, 441 U.S. 458 (1979), article, or as part of an In-state tuition in the United States article spun off from Education in the United States. --Bejnar (talk) 05:43, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, WP:COATRACK. Concerned people should edit the Education in Colorado instead. More people will read that one anyway. Abductive (reasoning) 22:38, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
