[edit] El Rancho Charter School
- you may want to revise your comment on this page apparently the school "placed first in the Southern California state Science Olympiad competition for nine consecutive years". Also, I am curious as to what your opinion is on the outcome of this discussion, given the circumstances.
Thank you. I updated my comments. The "Finger Lakes Christian School" article could perhaps be resurrected as a small section of the Seneca Falls page. As it was the school was pretty tiny, so it didn't quite cross my bar of notability. :-) — RJH (talk) 16:22, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- Fair enough, I can respect that. Thanks for the feedback. Silensor 16:23, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Silensor... Thank you very much for the constructive criticism in your oppose comment in my request for adminship. Ultimately, no consensus was reached, and I failed to be promoted, but I am very grateful for your coments. I will strive to better myself in all areas, especially Mainspace. Thε Halo Θ |
[edit] Schools
Thank you for letting me know. The "stuck record" arguments about schools that many editors wrongly use involve flawed blanket criteria (Notability isn't a blanket.), subjective judgments of what editors personally consider to be notable (Notability is not subjective.), and zero attention to actual sources. The WP:SCHOOL criteria should, like the WP:CORP criteria before them, get editors out of those "stuck record" arguments and onto the reading, citation, and evaluation of sources for the article at hand, which are the proper study of encyclopaedists. This is a good example. Two independent, non-trivial, published works satisfy the primary notability criterion of WP:SCHOOL. One can make an argument based wholly upon the provenance and depth of source material, without need for any blanket statements ("All X are notable/non-notable.") or subjective judgements at all.
If you can find multiple independent non-trivial sources for Coseley School (AfD discussion), Roberts Primary School (AfD discussion), and Straits Primary School (AfD discussion) too, we can perhaps nip any arguments based upon subjective judgements and flawed blanket statements in the bud in their AFD discussions, as well, and get editors focussed upon looking for, looking at, and evaluating sources instead.

[edit] JzG and Kappa
Please read my summary in the deletion review where I explain why what he did was not votestacking. JoshuaZ 21:22, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Also see Guettarda's remark on my talk page which is highly pertinent. JoshuaZ 21:28, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sandbox
Good point. I'll add a note. JoshuaZ 20:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ross Global Academy
This school is up for AfD and I think that it should be kept if the claims in it can be sourced. Since you seem to be in favor of keeping schools and are good at tracking down sources for them (and I'm a bit busy right now) I'd appreciate if you would help source the article. Thanks.

[edit] Northcentral University
You commented on an AFD for this article. I'm letting you know that I've deleted it because the entire article was essentially unsourced and didn't fit NPOV by any means. However, please do feel free to recreate the article with adequate sourcing- it's just that the POV warriors on the page had basically screwed it up beyond repair.

However, I do appreciate your comments, and found them very encouraging. Please rest assured that I am still in support of the Wikipedia project, and will continue to contribute without interruption. Thanks again! --Elonka 17:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inquiry about User:Silensor/Schools
While looking through some old AfDs, I noticed this edit which gives a list almost identical to your list. I'm just wondering who got it from whom. JoshuaZ 06:19, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- The original document was created in large part by Unfocused, I'm not aware what contributions were made by Nicodemus, if any. Hope that helps. Silensor 06:11, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Zanta
Note that Zanta has been restored, and place on AfD for a proper deletion debate. -- Zanimum 14:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
