Cannot be Wikipedia or a Wikipedia mirror. Georgia guy (talk) 20:56, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This article refers to the commonplace grading practice of giving an A to 90% and above, a B for 80-89% and so forth. However, internet searching reveals that the term is used as an alternate name for "decimal system" in some educational literature. I could find no sources that analyse (or even mention) the grading practice. Furthermore, the article does not enlighten us as to why this is interesting.

Delete. No evidence this is genuine terminology in the field and the subject is already adequately covered in Grade (education). I got the same result as Georgia Guy - mirrors and forks only, some of them copyvios. I would also like to add Nines System and Eights System to this nomination, just as soon as I work out how to do it. There is equally little no evidence for these and even less evidence that they are actually used. SpinningSpark 09:42, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I've added the other two articles. Not sure if this is entirely the Kosher way of doing this - could someone else please sort this out if I have got this wrong. SpinningSpark 09:50, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete –At this time. I did find one Scholarly work related to the Tens System with regards to grading, as shown here [1]]. However, all other Google Scholar hits, as shown here [2], uses the term as an alternate name for "decimal system". This is what the article should address and then would be happy to support. Thanks.

Redirect tens system to decimal system, delete the other two. DGG ( talk ) 06:34, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think possibly you meant redirect to decimal. The decimal system page is a dab page. SpinningSpark 12:10, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
