[edit] Benignus Elementary School
Another example of a spam article, irrelevant and non-notable school. Jmlk17 06:17, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Weak keep as a somewhat useful article, at least potentially if not currently. It might not have the name recognition of Chuck Norris, but if I were considering sending my kids there I'd appreciate an informative description of the place. Remember WP:SENSE and WP:IGNORE. --

- "I'd appreciate an informative description of the place"... for which the school's own website should be appropriate. In its current form, which is a simple duplication of the information and weasel-words that should be available on the school's website, while showing no notability outside existing and no sources independant of the school itself (let alone at all) the article would best be redirected with possible weak minor merge to an article on the district the school is in, if identifiable. Not-a-keep not-a-vote. -- saberwyn 11:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - just about any academic organization that was a Wikipedia article has a website. "This information could exist somewhere apart from Wikipedia, therefore this information should not exist in Wikipedia" is a non sequitur. In any case, the website likely has a very small handful of administrators, while the article can be edited by several thousand knowledgeable editors, the latter collective having much more neutral intent. You won't find commentary on such things as overpopulation, drugs, violence, etc. on the school's website. -- Talk 20:55, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a directory or a how-to guide. Plus, WP:SENSE is not policy, and WP:IAR does not apply.--WaltCip 15:26, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
