[edit] The Sentinel (NIC)/Past staff/2004-2005

• Generally non-notable. It's not clear, but the page is an offshoot of The Sentinel (NIC). It's not appropriate as a redirect since it violates the mainspace naming convention by using slashes. Interiot 04:54, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to The Sentinel (NIC) since the information is not included in main article. I think that it was likely intended to be a part of that article in the first place. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 10:18, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - We don't list every single bit of staff for newspapers, especially student newspapers, because they change every semester or more frequently. I should know - I edit one. FCYTravis 11:48, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
• My original intent in creating this was to make past staff listings subpages. For example, a listing of the staff from 2003-2004 would be located at The Sentinel (NIC)/Past staff/2003-2004. If Wikipedia does not use subpages, my apologies. The reason I liked the idea of subpages instead of keeping everything on the main Sentinel page is that having so many names on one page would be cumbersome. By linking to the subpages, interested people can go the exact staff they want to reference. I realize that many who have no interest in the paper find this irrelevant and non-notable (for those who are, it is a different story), but it isn't as if Wikipedia is short on space. Why not include everything for the sake of completeness?

Additionally, I direct you to The Sentinel (MHS), where staff is listed. --Argy 20:28, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

• Comment - Which I just cleared out ;) - The inherent problem with listing student newspaper staff is that it changes by the semester, if not by the week. The names of individual newspaper staff members, by and large, are not notable - I direct you to the San Francisco Chronicle - which lists only the publisher and managing editor, and The New York Times which lists only publishers, executive editors and a selection of current columnists. This goes double for student newspaper staffs, which, again, just aren't as inherently notable because of their far-smaller audience. FCYTravis 23:12, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
