[edit] Active recall

I'm nominating this article to be deleted because of its unencyclopedic content/style and complete lack of sources. I tagged it to be rewritten on 8 September 2007 and since nothing has been done to improve the article by its original authors since then, I assumed this was the next most logical step.

  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 10:25, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Learning There should be coverage of this principle in the articles on learning, but the author should have at least grabbed another encyclopedia or a psychology book. Notable topic, worthless article. No objection to someone doing a little research and writing a good article. The Learning article is very poorly referenced itself. Edison 14:15, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep the article needs to be rewritten, but the topic is notable. IP198 19:57, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Thing is, no one was going to rewrite it. So it may as well be deleted until someone feels like writing an article on "active recall" rather than a study guide for one. (I get the feeling this was copied-and-pasted from some outside source, too.) RobertM525 03:46, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
