WP:TNT, This article created for a school project doesn't even define what the subject is - as has been noted on the talk page by two editors. Lots of close paraphrasing on the useless history section as well. The Dissident Aggressor 03:30, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I think this is a notable concept given the breadth of sourcing available for it. I commented as much in edit summary when I did a pretty major overhaul on this article in 2013 to deal with close paraphrasing concerns. I wrote the history section from scratch at that time, The Dissident Aggressor, and would certainly be chagrined by close paraphrasing! Can you point to specific examples of problems in my writing, or is it just a lingering concern from the 2012 note on the talk page? --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:10, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Silly me - believing the talk page. The Dissident Aggressor 19:19, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The talk page was quite right. It's just old. :) I rewrote it in response to the {{close paraphrasing}} tag on the page itself. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:31, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The topic is quite notable – see sources such as Sociology of Education or Heating Up and Cooling Out at the Community College. WP:TNT is an essay. Our actual policy is WP:IMPERFECT. Note also the self-referential aspects of this topic. Adjustment of expectations is what's needed here. Andrew D. (talk) 13:34, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
