Students as teacher educators[edit]

Article was nominated for speedy deletion per WP:CSD#A1 (no context) and WP:CSD#A3 (no content). They do not apply. The remaining question is whether the subject is encyclopedic. That is why I'm moving this to AfD instead. No opinion. A ecis ^{Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984.} 13:01, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for lack of any relevant content on the topic. The article itself would probably be borderline OR in any case. Eddie.willers 13:17, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, WP:OR, WP:NOT a publisher of original thought, essay. Ter e nc e Ong 13:26, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete personal essay, obvious original research. Userfy if requested, of course. Guy (Help!) 14:04, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Its a step above a personal essay, as there are four journal references (easy to miss, the refs are malformed). The article tone is immensely OR, however, so I don't think its salvageable. Also, I'm nervous about most of the cited sources. Journal of Teacher Education has a 2005 IF of 0.5. Equity and Excellence in Teacher Education, if it exists, has absolutely zero web imprint (no viable Google hits). Radical Teacher does not appear to be a scholarly journal; it is, by its admission, a "socialist, feminist, and anti-racist journal". Teacher Development appears to be an actual peer-reviewed journal, although I cannot find an impact factor stated anywhere (and conflicting info about whether it is still in publication). It might be possible to write an article on this topic starting with these sources, but this one isn't it, and won't help anyone who would try. Serpent's Choice 14:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per Serpent's comment, who's pretty much spot on. Jayden54 15:15, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I'm really shocked that we don't have a student teacher article. This article is very essay-ish, but it definitely could be cleaned up and used as the start of a student teacher article. --- RockMFR 21:56, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
