This is an old Wiki Ambassador Program article, and has all the worst tendencies of such articles. Issues are as follows:

There is no part of this article that would be worth incorporating into the history article, nor any other article, nor to any future rewrite of this article. Any editor who wishes to write a coverage of this topic, and the relevant points in #4, would be better off expanding History of education in Kentucky#Since 1990.

Support deletion. While an article of sufficient notability and quality COULD be written to occupy a similar title: the article that exists is not justified for the aforementioned reasons. SecretName101 (talk) 02:02, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

edit: I will add that Education in Kentucky#Reform has decent coverage of this topic, though it could use an update. Nicknimh (talk) 02:50, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete This is a badly-hidden WP:COATRACK for charter/voucher school programs and forced AP programs and outside of that just is unabashed activism to remove power from the Kentucky Department of Education to pacify special interests. A very poor article. Nathannah • (chatter) 02:07, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Kentucky has an interesting education history; in the late 1980s, the entire state education system was found to violate the state constitution! But this is an essay. A couple of references could survive in History of education in Kentucky but little else. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 02:17, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • And there's also Amendment 2 failing in 2024. Yes, plenty of history and neither article has any of it. Uncle G (talk) 08:23, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Clearly an unencyclopedic essay. Esolo5002 (talk) 06:01, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: WP:COATRACK. Per nom, there's nothing to salvage in this article, so I think the best option is to remove it from the platform.--DesiMoore (talk) 15:32, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
