Talk:Rudy Crew

Notability of Crew

It would seem that the nomination of a five year-head of NYC schools and three year (so far)-head of Miami schools for speedy deletion is suspect.

"Rudy Crew" gets 209,000 hits in a yahoo search. He was interviewed by PBS in a prominent spotlight (as part of background for a Frontline page). Thus, he seems hardly inconsequential. Dogru144 03:32, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

An editor wrote, on the Articles for deletion page, about Crew:

A noted school administrator who has run two of the nation's largest public school systems, including the nation's largest, in NYC. This search for "Rudy Crew" in The New York Times archive found 1,645 articles . . . Dogru144 07:38, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Rename

I've asked that the redirect page Rudy Crew be deleted because I'd like to rename this article Rudy Crew. That is, by far, the name by which Crew is best-known. Google finds 108,000 hits for "Rudy Crew", 582 for "Rudolph Crew", and 904 for "Rudolph F. Crew".—Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 20:39, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

References

Some editors have been removing instrumental references. This is most unproductive. I have revereted the references. Dogru144 15:38, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I removed the redundant stub templates. This article is already included in educator stubs and the American educators category, so US-bio-stub and edu-stub are unnecessary. Cheers, Her Pegship (tis herself) 20:57, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Bot report : Found duplicate references !

In the last revision I edited, I found duplicate named references, i.e. references sharing the same name, but not having the same content. Please check them, as I am not able to fix them automatically :)

Biased

When one looks at the paragraph about Crew's leadership, I think it gives off a very obvious bias in favor of Crew and def. is not NPOV. Maybe someone should consider revising.

All-Girls Middle School Controversy

I'm wondering if anyone who is an expert on the all-girls public school experiment back in 1997 could add something about that controversy to this article.
