Proposed merge with Visible Learning[edit]

primary notability is as his theory DGG ( talk ) 04:22, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree. Visible learning is a topic. John is a person. John's work is much much more than this. You don't subsume the theory of relativity into Einstein's bio.--203.96.75.150 (talk) 00:37, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I also disagree with this proposal. John is a renowned educator and researcher, increasingly so. His work should be seen as separate. Other researchers have now studied/developed visible learning as well, and it is unlikely that this concept will remain recognised as solely Hattie's work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.201.66.66 (talk) 03:51, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No. Hattie is notable on his own. Magnolia677 (talk) 03:59, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
