8-4-4 Curriculum

Article is Kenya-centric. This school system had been in place elsewhere far before 1985. Bensci54 (talk) 23:07, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So how's that a rationale, based in deletion policy, for deleting an encyclopaedia article on the subject less than an hour after it is first begun? Uncle G (talk) 04:55, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it deserves its own article, and certainly not with its current title. With its current content, it should be named 8-4-4 Curriculum in Kenya, as this system is not unique. I think this information would be better off in either a main article for Kenyan/African education, or a main article for similar schooling schemes worldwide.

The Kenya implementation had far reaching impact on the country see: Davy Koech Commission, Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education and Kenya Certificate of Primary Education. It not just a change in timing was also a change in Content/Subject matter taught,examination approach and University entry. I think the move to rename it may be better than a deletion. Kenyabook

Move Perhaps I was a bit too hasty with my deletion nomination. I agree that a page move to "8-4-4 Curriculum in Kenya" would be a superior alternative to deletion, as this content has value. Bensci54 (talk) 05:57, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep per nom's comment above. I suggest that you withdraw this AfD and discuss the issue on the article's talk page. ˜danjel [ talk | contribs ] 15:40, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
