- Keep, most education related zines would not meet the notability criteria, but that does not mean that they are irrelevant. After four days surfing the web trying to find reference material on education zines I have found only one done entirely by professionals and paid writers: The Irascible Professor.

- As far as future reasearch is concerned, being one of the few education related zines with an ISSN, it will probably be one of the few that can be referenced 20 years down the line, as there will be copies in the US Library of Congress. All ISSN holders have to deposit a copy of their publication at their respective National Library. Rough 16:07, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Question are any of the contributors notable? 69.140.173.15 20:31, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, This zine is widely read at American and Canadian universities and contibutors come from other countries as well. The editor pays for essays and has arranged for an ISSN. So the IP is professional and has a place.Youtrue 22:54, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep alive. Most educational journals are very dry reading OR are composed of teaching ideas. A centralized site for op eds in the field is rare on line.Bessielil 00:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Bessielil[reply]
