Ad-like, Confusing, Spam? CWii(Talk|Contribs) 16:57, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep - This is a notable topic. It is an unusual financial instrument used in financing of United States public education. (I am somewhat familiar with it because I live in a community that borrowed $8 million through this program, as documented in a referenced sentence that I added to the article.) Unfortunately, the article has received much editing attention from two competing companies in the business of selling QZABs, which is why it seems ad-like. One reason why it is confusing is that the whole arrangement is very confusing. Since first seeing QZAB articles on new pages patrol, I have made several relatively half-hearted efforts to improve the article and combat the addition of advertising, but the bond vendors have more energy (and knowledge) than I have... The article could be improved with information from the U.S. Treasury, information on other school districts that have used these bonds, and ideally also information on the political background of the program (I'm sure there's an interesting story). -- Orlady (talk) 17:33, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - Confusing, perhaps, but it hardly sounds ad-like. matt91486 (talk) 17:39, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep I agree with Matt.Keep with some cleaning up and rewriting. A man of honour (talk) 19:15, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, these only affect a small number of school districts (due to intentional limitations) but they are notable. Could use a rewrite, and needs to be moved to Qualified Zone Academy Bond per WP:MOS. --Dhartung | Talk 21:10, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
