Ted Sizer

Looks like self promotion, and probably doesn't meet notability criteria. The contact information in the article probably creates a problem too. (Unsigned by Robinoke (talk · contribs))

• The only problem with this entry is that it doesn't give the man the credit he deserves. He is an absolute giant in the field. (unsigned by 128.103.176.23 (talk · contribs))

• I was abslolutely shocked that this was ALL the Wiki had on Sizer. I recommend: remove the contact information, and regard this as a stub to be expanded. Theodore ("Ted") Sizer is known to practically all knowledgeable educators for his 1984 "Horace's Compromise," and has been churning out books since then. And although he's relatively unread outside of education circles, this doesn't have to be the case; his writing is engaging and readable enough for anyone, unlike much of the educational philosophy writing. In fact, anyone with a vested interest in schooling--including anyone who has a child in school or went to school themself--ought to read "Horace's Compromise." --Andrew Bonner (unsigned by 65.87.180.216 (talk · contribs))
• Comment nominator failed to list on vfd, now fixing (no vote) --Doc (?) 16:34, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep notable educator, underwhelming article. Plenty of google hits, books on Amazon, etc... -- DS1953 17:41, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • I revised the article. -- DS1953
• Keep. Definitely a notable educationalist, as article now clearly demonstrates Sliggy 21:07, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, Google hits seem to indicate notability even further than what is indicated in the article. Zoe 21:20, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Unquestionably notable figure. Name should be corrected to form used for book authorship. Judge Magney 22:27, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as educational educationalist. Capitalistroadster 23:43, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable figure within his field. Hall Monitor 17:03, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. More notable than the article suggests. --JahJah 13:47, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
