[edit] Hillcrest Christian School

Hillcrest Christian School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Little assertion of notability, if any. Reads like an advertisement. Complete lack of encyclopedic information. Húsönd 04:29, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm in the process of adding an info box including other encylopedic information such as year founded, acreage, history, etc.--12.152.127.226 04:33, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

• weak keep doesn't appear hugely notable, but potentially so as there is no real policy for notability regarding schools. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 04:40, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete No notability. Sounds like any of the other thousands upon thousands of high schools in the United States. TJ Spyke 05:55, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Schools are not inherently notable. Chairman S. Talk ^Contribs 11:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I argue that schools are notable because they have a profound affect on their pupils (this could be several thousand people, depending on the age & size of a school). As such, this makes them notable, not only to their community but to the world at large if former pupils move away. Markb 13:15, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment We already have an article about High schools, any information about how they profoundly affect their pupils can be described there. No need for thousands of useless, school website mirrors, poorly written, rampantly vandalized, unsourced and POV'd articles.--Húsönd 15:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete No references. Fails WP:N, WP:RS, WP:V, and WP:SCHOOLS3. Inkpaduta 15:31, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
• comment will someone please look at the articles at Category:Elementary schools in Florida? It's one thing to do high schools if they are at least factual, yet another for elementary and so on... Chris 19:45, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I agree with Niffweed. Schools are a very debated topic and no real policy exists in dealing with them. There are many high schools that have articles on wiki. Does the controversy arise from the fact that this is both an elementary school and high school? --† Ðy§ep§ion † ^{Speak your mind} 19:52, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Schools are not inherently notable. Soltak | Talk 22:43, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - this article is starting to take shape and should be allowed to develop not culled. This school is significant in its community, has notable sporting achievements and its presence does no harm to WP. Bridgeplayer 04:10, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Bridgeplayer. Mathmo ^Talk 10:18, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Notability is neither asserted nor demonstrated. There is nothing about this school that distinguishes it from its peers. Inadequately documented, too. WMMartin 19:57, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete High school, elementary school, or a combination, there has to be something to say beyond the mere directory info. I usually say delete, but thats only because the articles usually say nothing notable about the school. The solution to the problem of what to do with school articles is to write better school articles. DGG 01:43, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep now that the sourcing issue has been dealt with, the school does appear to be somewhat notable partially due to its sports program. (jarbarf) 17:19, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Referencing back to the first comment, I want to remind everyone that there is not policy of notability on schools. The requirement of stating some assertion of notability is mainly created on the fact that millions of articles that are commercially based or focused individual self-promotion would be littered all over wikipedia. I believe that if any article that is not advertising in this said manner is viable. In addition, as an additional requirement, I believe that articles should have some substance and according to policy, they should have some referenced material or at least list some legitimate sources. This article appears to have some information, and I am sure that in the future, individuals could work on and improve the article based on these sources. --Thank You.

• Keep per above Oo7565 05:29, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep It is a nice starter article on a school. There can be redirects if there are more than one. Rkevins 08:47, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep as with any high school. Cloachland 03:45, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
