Unfortunately, even though the class assignment required that the articles
created by the students meet Wikipedia
requirements, now that most of them have been listed on VfD, the
instructor is trying to claim that they do meet our
requirements. It seems if the vast majority of the articles have made it
to VfD, then not only has the majority of the class
failed the assignment, but the instructor doesn't understand the nature of
Wikipedia. If the majority of a class fails an
assignment, that has to say something about the instructor, as well.

Says something about how well we explain our requirements as well. Or in this case, how well we agree on our requirements. Most of the articles listed *did* meet our requirements. VfD is broken. It probably never worked in the first place.

VfD is not broken, as is proven by the numbers of people who use it. What's broken is the idea that anything and everything goes on Wikipedia.
