[edit] Universal School of Buffalo

Seems to be self-promotional spam, with no assertion of the notability of the school. Leuko 03:15, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

• This is a way to open up collaboration for our teachers, staff, and particularly students. Intended to make an historical record of sorts as well. I got the idea from a book published by Will Richardson from Webbloged. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Amosstarz (talk • contribs) .
• Delete per nom, self-promotion and no claims to notability. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, WP is WP:NOT a social networking tool (see 1.6 of WP:NOT). Articles about whatever the subject are better-off being written by someone who isn't directly involved with that subject. The kind of information required to establish notability is listed under WP:SCHOOL and could be of help to those editting this article. If notability can be established then I will happily change my vote, but the article as stands does not reflect the nature of Wikipedia. QuagmireDog 04:20, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment I should point out that WP:SCHOOL is not a Wikipedia policy, but an ongoing discussion as to how schools should define notability. That said, notability is not the only issue, WP:NOT is still in breech. QuagmireDog 08:23, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment I've looked around for some links on Google to see if I could find some references made to the school, but came up empty handed. The school seems very nice, nice website, which is why I've tried to find something, but all I can see is that the school is of course notable to its pupils and their families (more than notable), there's nothing out there justifying an article on WP. I'm wondering if Will Richardson from Webbloged was referring to a seperate wiki or mentioned the WP without discussing the requirements of notability etc? I would advise the staff of the school who are involved in this to seek information on setting up their own wiki, and hope this hasn't put them off Wikipedia (it can be great practice for your students to edit articles on all the subjects here). The Village Pump on the main page is also somewhere to turn to for help if needed. If someone else more experienced could have a quick look to see if they can find some notability citations I'd be greatful. QuagmireDog 04:17, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. The school sounds interesting, but I cannot find any solid references either. Delete until verifiable sources become available on this school. Silensor 20:13, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
