[edit] Mounds Park Academy

Does not conform to Wikipedia MOS. Much of text reads like an advertisement. Perhaps this article could be kept if there were interested contributors who would devote effort to bringing it up to Wikipedia standards, but in its current condition it does not have much content that is non-vanity. If there is no move to improve it in 7 days, then I think we should Delete LiniShu 20:50, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment This ought to have been marked {{cleanup}} and not brought here. I've made a quick de-POV. In any case bringing it here is pointless as there is an established no-consensus to delete school articles. --Doc (?) 22:08, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

• I've changed my vote to Abstain following improvements to article. LiniShu 13:51, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-encyclopaedic, no attempt to establish notability, and clearly advertising. - Just zis Guy, you know? 21:54, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I have removed the remaining pov. Previous comments about "advertising" should now be regarded as void. CalJW 22:44, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep CalJW's rewritten version. Seems notable enough for mine given likely outcome of schools articles. Capitalistroadster 00:42, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete "Non-encyclopedic" and "no attempt to establish notability" remain. Denni☯ 01:24, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - Fixed article. --rob 01:26, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, sounds like an advert.Gateman1997 01:28, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete avertisement not notable.-Dakota 01:34, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep the rewrite for reasons stated at Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. Silensor 20:56, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

• Strong Keep, sizable school, interesting historical info, find article very useful. Babajobu 21:02, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
• Bicycle for all the usual reasons.--Nicodemus75 23:04, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Nicodemus, if I were the admin closing this, I would ignore your vote as unclear - do you wish to rephrase? --Doc (?) 23:07, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

I am perfectly aware that this vote will be ignored at closure - I have no desire to rephrase.--Nicodemus75 07:37, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep I would like to explain the purpose of the article. It is not meant to be an advertisement and it is not. It is meant to be informative. I got the information from the school's about page because I do not have time to right my own text but I thought there should be an article about the school. -Blue
  • The copy of this text from a copyrighted source to here was a mistake and shouldn't have been done. Hopefully the subsequent rewrite is sufficient, to keep the current version (I'm not clear on the rules for this). An article should only be created if/when an author has time to write entirely original content. Copyvios are subject to deletion without a vote. --rob 08:07, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
    • On a closer look, a couple old sentences were left, even after the de-POVing, but are gone now. I think the current version is legit, but an admin may wish to delete some history. --rob 08:45, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, nice work by Thivierr to get this article up to par. Christopher Parham (talk) 21:15, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Still nn --JAranda | watz sup 07:24, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
• keep please it does not look like an advertisement to me Yuckfoo 20:00, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
• Bicycle as per Nicodemus75. —RaD Man (talk) 05:14, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
