Educational corporation. A speedy deletion was overturned at deletion review and is now here for further discussion. This is a procedural listing, I have no opinion. ~ trialsanderrors 02:49, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Advertisement Dragomiloff 05:01, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Meets WP:V and WP:N and I cant see a problem with WP:CORP. John Vandenberg 09:08, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep has an article in USA Today. RiseRobotRise 10:12, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. It is an advertisement which seems to be slanted to make the subject look more notable than it is.--Wehwalt 15:06, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, but Cleanup: This article does give, for the most part, good information, but it needs a lot of cleanup till it is up to Wikipedia's standards. Chickyfuzz123 18:02, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I don't see a significant problem with it. Philippe Beaudette 23:07, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I reviewed the cited sources and they appear to be either directory entries or reprints of press releases. Nothing whihc passes the non-trivial, independent test. Guy (Help!) 21:25, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

• That is simply not true. You may have misread the US Dept of Ed page which (rather poorly) lists a group of programs; however, the organization at hand was listed as one of two ever cited by the federal education agency, which oversees 1000s of schools, as exemplary. The other citations are each articles from known and respected publications. I have included a new citation to a publication ED wrote specifically about GenYES to reinforce the significance of their acknowledgement. Being recognized by the US Dept of Ed as exemplary is about the highest form of acknowledgement any education company in the US can recieve. -Freechild 13:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
• I am also shocked that JzG reviewed the cited sources and found nothing indicating verifiability and/or notability -- they were clearly journal articles and government publications, albeit missing {{cite}} formatting. In any case, most of these sources have now been clarified. One that still stumps me is the ISSN of "Educational Leadership". John Vandenberg 08:22, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

• I added that ISSN, but can't get the syntax right- can somebody spot me? - Freechild 20:44, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Sufficient evidence above proves the validity of this article. - Freechild 02:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
