[edit] LearnNet

A non-notable distance education program offered by a school. LearnNet yields many google hits, but only a handful of them refer to the program offered by Argyll Centre in Edmonton. Ezeu 03:19, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete no claim that this program stands out from others. Ruby 03:31, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable Liamdaly620 08:20, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep or maybe merge with Edmonton Public Schools or somewhere. Kappa 08:51, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep interesting and signficant program. I would be fine with a merge, if this isn't expanded. It could also be moved to Argyll Centre, which could talk about this and other programs. --Rob 08:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Looking more at this, I think it should definately be moved to Argyll Centre[1]. Then the article can discuss this program (LearnNet), and other closely related ones for students that don't physical attend regular schools (e.g. old fashioned offline support for home schooling). I now think a merge isn't so good, and the program is made available to students outside the Edmonton Public Schools district boundries; as this is particular appeal to students in rural areas. It will be appropriate to link to the article from relevant places (maybe Alberta), but not appropriate to link to Edmonton Public Schools (which would be needed if we merge there). --Rob 07:28, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. While distance education in itself is undoubtedly worth mentioning in Wikipedia, I can't see the use for an entry on each and every implementation of it. We already have information at distance education; however, however, what's notable about this instance in particular? For example, we have a Wikipedia article about a web page, but we certaintly don't have an article about each webpage out there - only the notable ones. Admittedly, my example was quite a bit more extensive, but it still demonstrates the same concept of non-notability when it comes to articles about individual implementations of a more overlying subject. As far as I can tell from the article so far, LearnNet is non-notable. -Rebelguys2 09:24, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep if expanded, if not merge it with Edmonton Public Schools as suggested by Kappa --TBC 09:32, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Edmonton Public Schools. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-24 05:45Z
• Keep or Merge with Argyll Centre. It would mean the an article on Argyll would neeed to be created but it feal that it would be appropreate since Argyll does offer other programs other than LearnNet kc4 - the Server Monkey Enforcer 19:17, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
