FIDH name change

I moved the the FIDH article from "International Federation of Human Rights" to "International Federation for Human Rights." The old title will still redirect you to the new name. I also changed all of the other redirects (like FIDH) so that they point to the new name. In doing that process, I noticed that the article doesn't have any incoming links other than the redirects, so I added a note on the page that the article is an orphan. At some point in the process of improving the article, you'll want to see if links to it can be added to other articles as well; that's, however, a lower priority than getting more information verified by reliable sources into the article.

Speedy deletion nomination of Visible Learning

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Visible Learning, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Randykitty (talk) 17:05, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Visible Learning

The article Visible Learning has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence that this concept is notable. Only references are the article in which the expression "visible learning" was used and a very brief item in a newsletter. The external links are to sites promoting Hattie's courses and books.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
