Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Project Based Learning

This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was ambiguous.

The straight votes below are 2 "delete" and 2 "redirect". No one is arguing to keep the current article as is. Conducting my own review, I find sufficient independent and reputable Google hits to conclude that this buzz-word is no longer a neologism. Arguably, it is a trivial elaboration on the old "field trip" but that is not a sufficient reason for deletion.

I am going to exercise my discretion on this one and call it as a "keep". Further, I am going to override the recommendation of the other voters and keep it as an independent article for now. (That is, however, a decision that any future editor/reader can be bold and change.) I believe that there is sufficient content behind the topic that this could eventually become a viable encyclopedia article. Rossami (talk) 04:50, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Um yeah, it doesn't actually say what it is, just that it's good. 186,000 google hits though, maybe someone will turn it into an article (no vote ATM). Kappa 04:05, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Sounds like a recent buzzword in education. Probably useful, but best merged with Education or with another recent trend therein. Radiant_* 09:04, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, edu-cruft. ComCat 05:33, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Education. Maybe someone later will create real article. Pavel Vozenilek
