[edit] Reads like an ad

This article has serious problems which need to be addressed:

  1. It reads like an ad. All the language is gushing and over-glorifying. Therefore, the whole article is highly POV and needs to be toned down.
  2. It makes numerous claims that aren't backed up by any references at all. E.g. "is considered by many to be a school of the future." Just who are these "many" people? If there are a lot, it shouldn't be too hard to find a reference somewhere. Lacking such references, the POV claims should be removed.
  3. It has too much unencyclopedic detail. Wikipedia is not for duplicating other websites. All the information on credits, prerequisates and other details should be removed: such information does not belong on Wikipedia. That information should be on the school's website, not ours.
  4. It doesn't establish why the school is WP:Notable. We don't want every educational institution listed, just ones that deserve mention.

Lacking such changes, I'll nominate it for deletion. — Frecklefoot | Talk 18:30, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
