See Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Resource Room. The information is too short to be its own article. User:Jimsteele9999 did not follow instructions from Articles of creation. They told him to add information about resource rooms in special schools. Rovea (talk) 16:45, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am withdrawing this nomination. Stupid AfC. Rovea (talk) 19:03, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is your rationale that the artilce is too short or that it belongs in seperate school? You should exercise some restraint (e.g. discussing in talk page) before deleting pages, but that is not surprising with someone lacking in creativity. Still, if it is too short then suggest what could be added. And if you review what "they" told me to do it was to create a page outside of special schools for resource rooms because in fact according to special education law, specifically a Least Restrictive Environment, a resource room is a program placement MUCH different then a special school. For one, a resource room is in a general education setting and a special school is outside.

Isn't that what I just said? I said the artilce belongs in special school. Then why did AfC told you to add the info about resource room to special school? Rovea (talk) 18:52, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, you aren't reading closely. Did you read any of the verfiable sources I added on the page when I created it? No. Did you read what Least Restrictive Environment is before you started this process? No. You're wrong, because a special school is a school whereupon special education services are delivered in a special education setting. A resource room is where special education services are delivered in a regular education setting. Of course, there's more to it, but I thought it besto keep the explanation for you at the minimum.

Speedy Keep A standard part of many schools at all levels, at least in the US--needs expansion of course.There are certainly sources for it: The Google books search right above shows 4 books with exactly that in the title.-- a hundreds with clearly significant discussion. The google scholar search above shows thousands--and [1] shows 407 with that phrase in the title of the article. We normally accept subjects where the depth of the significant references is indicated by actual books with that title. It certainly meets GNG. Did anyone think to look? I commend the author for going ahead despite an incorrect judgment at AfC. I wonder how many other good topics get discouraged there. DGG ( talk ) 18:54, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
