Just asking why it is marked for deletion, or considered spam. From my perspective it is relevant to Minecraft and provides information that is relevant to the game especially to people who have not played it but are considering buying it. If it is the link then maybe just remove it, I am not affiliated with it but I considered it relevant proof of Minecraft's educational potential. Maybe it should just be an annotation, however I don't know how to do this, the table took me an hour to format. As I think (I'm not sure) I said in the edit summary, this page is in response to the large number of parents I have seen on /r/minecraft asking about things that this page would now help answer. I tried to include and amalgamate the ideas, feeling and tone of the most upvoted responses to those questions, as I figured they would be the closest to the "consensus" basis for content on the wiki. This is my first wiki page, so please let me know if I did something wrong. NCdB 07:21, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

It was marked for deletion because these types of articles generally belong in the Tutorials section. The main article space is for official game content, not guides. But you can move this page to the Tutorials section using the link in the move tag. The main page of the Wiki doesn't clearly specify that there is a Tutorial section for articles such as this one, so I beleive something needs to be done to make it more noticeable for newcomers. - Asterick6 00:49, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
I wish for users to expand on this, and create some form of "Minecraft in education" page, rather than "information for parents". I'd be disheartened if this was lost into the quagmire of the tutorial section. --Kizzycocoa 01:22, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
This is surely a page that deserves keeping and expanding. I was actually wondering whether architecture/town planning was worth adding as a specific educational benefit. I'm about 75% done on a set of building-related tutorials - roofs, walls, lighting, yadda yadda, which seem like they'd be quite pertinent. But I think it wuld be good to see opinions from some actual teachers rather than me guessing about what's suitable.--82.69.54.207 18:05, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
