Montessori in the United States

Nominated for deletion by Alinroch with reason: "This article was improperly split from the main article. Please delete it." This is a procedural nomination - my opinion is Neutral. Tevildo (talk) 21:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

keep, or merge to Education in the United States. There are no other "by country" sections of the main article, Montessori method, so including one just for the US would be unbalanced. There are links to the main article from Education in the Netherlands, Education in Australia, Education in Germany, Education in Sweden, Education in Norway, History of education in Japan, and perhaps some others that escaped my notice. That seems a much more fruitful approach. --Paularblaster (talk) 21:42, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Education in the United States is already a lengthy article so a link is proably a better option. -- Alan Liefting-talk- 11:51, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

delete, merge back to Montessori method which is the proper place for this article as splitting this by country adds no value. Montessori is primarily a United States education method, regardless of its origins. Creator claim of systemic bias does not apply. 69.207.139.221 (talk) 05:35, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doubtless that's why there's so much about it in the article Education in the United States. I suppose next you'll be telling us that toast is primarily a US food, regardless of where else it is eaten? --Paularblaster (talk) 16:44, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Show me that no other country eats toast in bulk and I'll be happy to listen to you. 69.207.139.221 (talk) 23:15, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you might try reading the various national educational articles I linked to? --Paularblaster (talk) 14:02, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge to Montessori method. Montessori is notable enough, and a national breakdown might make sense... 132.205.44.5 (talk) 23:03, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep sufficiently distinctive and important for an article by itself. DGG (talk) 02:22, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Encapsulates the topic well, allows it to be categorised by country, makes the Montessori method article from which it is split less country specific, avoids systemic bias issues. -- Alan Liefting-talk- 06:58, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
