[edit] AP Macroeconomics

This article seems unnecessary and redundant with Macroeconomics excepet that it notes that there is a highschool class on the subject designed for college bound students I vote DeleteNick Y. 20:38, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

• AP Macroeconomics refers to an Advanced Placement class that is in a series of Wikipedia articles about AP classes. However, the page shouldn't be deleted. It should be merged into Macroeconomics instead. But if we do that, we should probably merge all AP Class articles into the articles on their subject which I think would be a bad idea, therefore I overall disagree that this article should be deleted. --Shawn 21:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

• Comment There may be some larger organizational issues here; however, I really think that a simple list of subjects that have Advanced Placement courses at the high school level in the United States on the Advanced Placement page with links to the subject page would be best. Basically the article says "There is an AP class in macroeconomics" as to what AP or macroeconomics their respective pages are much more informative. --Nick Y. 21:19, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Based on past precedant, I would have to reiterate my vote for a strong keep in light of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AP Psychology. Thanks, Lambiam. --Shawn 22:46, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep. If this one is deleted, there's a long list of AP class articles that also need to be deleted. Also, contrary to Nick Y's comments, they're not all like the Macroeconomics article (which is a stub, lending to its reason for being so short) --fuzzy510 21:51, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Seems pretty notable to me, and clearly distinct from Macroeconomics. Dick Clark 21:54, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I have looked at a selection of the other AP________ pages and they are all the same. I can not imagine how these articles are going to be expanded without being redundant to Advanced Placement or their respective subject matters. I am open minded given the strong keep from a second although anonymous editor.--Nick Y. 21:48, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete. I agree with Nick Y. in that it will be hard to expand this (and most of the other AP class articles) without having a serious rehash of the material in the AP article and the topic's article. Many of the links on the AP article are redirect loops, and I don't see what's so special about this one that it should be treated differently. -- stubblyhead | ^T/_c 22:04, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment – see also a prior debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AP Psychology. --Lambiam^Talk 22:19, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• From my random sampling, I am inclined to agree with Nick Y. However, instead of deletion. I suggest this AP article is redirected to Advanced Placement, and the content either weakly merged, or have the outbound wikilink at Advanced_Placement#Subjects replaced with a wikilink to Macroeconomics. Any editor willing to do the fiddling has my consent to do this to all AP articles. -- saberwyn 22:53, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - I was not aware of the previous nomination. It seemed to come closer to no concensus than keep IMO and that was after the article was completely rewritten from scratch. I still stand by my nomination but not because I want to disagree with those that voted keep last time. The AP Psycology is a good article but under the wrong name IMHO. This article could be made similar to AP psycology exam and would be acceptable to me but this stub I still vote delete. Make a new article AP Macroeconomics exam However all of the content here is worthless.--Nick Y. 23:09, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• I think this article should be redirected to Advanced Placement Program. If someone wants to take the time to make it more like AP Psychology or some of the other more fully expanded pages about exams then they can remove the redirect and put in the content in the future... The content that's there now about the specific incarnation of the course is nn. (I don't think that the title of the article would need to be changed to AP Macroeconomics exam though. By that logic the current article should be renamed to AP Macroeconomics course. People are much more likely to search on the simple phrase AP Macroeconomics than anything else, imho.) —Jnk^[talk] 01:37, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Current state:"This course is for students interested in college-level work in economics. Study begins with fundamental economic concepts such as scarcity, opportunity costs, production possibilities, specialization, comparative advantage, demand, supply, and price determination. Major topics include measurement of economic performance, national income and price determination, and international economics and growth."
