Article is a fork of Reinforcement#Reinforcement. It is an orphan and works better described in the context of reinforcement. May be worth merging the "in the classroom" example into reinforcement maybe at Reinforcement#Applications. The only counter consideration is that reinforcement is getting very long. It might be worth having a new "reinforcement applications" article as there are so many applications - for example see search for "positive reinforcement" in Wikipedia.

• Delete as being redundant to the Reinforcement page. I don't see anything in here that's worth saving. This reads like a textbook/essay, not an encyclopedia page. FuriouslySerene (talk) 20:33, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as a WP:CONTENTFORK of Reinforcement#Reinforcement. Anything that is salvageable can be merged to the articles suggested above. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 22:42, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I'm inclined to take FuriouslySerene's line on this. The "in the classroom" text is a flabby example rather than a tight application. Also reinforcement is long enough already.--Penbat (talk) 09:11, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete at best as there's currently nothing to suggest a keepable encyclopedia article. SwisterTwister talk 04:18, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
