FAIRGRADE

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

I'm as certain as I can be from the writing that this passes WP:DUCK as a copyright violation, but I can't find the source. It looks, tastes, and feels as if it is from some promotional brochure. It also appears not to assert notability, nor verify it. The references are from primary sources. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 17:09, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm finding some sources that shows that there might be notability enough to keep, but offhand I'll say that the entire article needs to be re-written. It's fairly promotional in favor of FAIRGRADE and is rife with citation needed sections. I've found some sources, including a nice one from Time Magazine, but I'm halfway debating re-writing it first with what I do have and then resuming looking for sources.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 17:44, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Fairfax_County_Public_Schools#Debate_over_grading_policy. I found sources, but ultimately this group really only gained notice over the grading scale issues. They haven't really achieved any notice since then. Considering that their notability directly stems from the Fairfax grading policies, I recommend merging any pertinent data to that section and redirecting there. From what I can see, this would generally involve a cleaning of the section over the debate and adding sources from this article.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 20:55, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have no objection to that as an outcome. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 21:03, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge to Fairfax_County_Public_Schools#Debate_over_grading_policy. The only national-level source is Time magazine. The rest are Washington, D.C.-area newspapers. Epzik8 (talk) 15:40, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
