[edit] School Island
Subject of article does not meet guidelines for notability per WP:CORP. Nv8200p talk 20:08, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- KEEP This site is being used by the NYC Board of Ed. (one of the nations largest school systems) for Regents Exam prep and homework assignments. I'm working on citing sources. L0b0t 20:19, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Comment If it is as notable as L0b0t says, then he/she should be able to add some references (complying with WP:RS) fairly quickly. NYC Board of Ed involvement should be noted, and the implication of such involvement should be discussed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Selket (talk • contribs) 21:52, 12 February 2007 (UTC).
- Delete. First, I feel that the subject is not notable: this is just another piece of software for helping people do their job, and that is not per se notable. Further, this looks like disguised PR rather than a genuine article. If adequate sources ( that is, not provided by CASTLE Software or its affiliates ) are not provided by the end of this debate, I feel that we don't lose much by deleting. Of course, we should allow re-creation if decent references/sources can be found, and a better assertion of notability made, but right now the article looks to me like a cunningly disguised puff piece... No doubt CASTLE Software are aiming to sell their product to other customers, and you can be sure an article like this will help them. WMMartin 18:09, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
