[edit] Mountain Vista Governors School

Mountain Vista Governors School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Prod removed by anon IP without discussion. It's a school; the article doesn't make any particular claim of notability, so does it have enough to keep? EliminatorJR ^Talk 16:20, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete No assertion of notability, no sources. --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 18:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Most of it is nonsense. —METS501 (talk) 22:25, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
• Comment You all say that this is nonsense, but it is in fact, fact. Their are no sources because this is a compilation of first-hand accounts of real events. Many of this information was unknown until now. So please don't delete it. Clean it up, but don't delete it - Concerned MVGS Student —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.127.90.179 (talk • contribs)
• Delete per Concerned MVGS Student. Wikipedia is not for first-hand anything. No prejudice against recreating if such a recreation is accompanied by proper sources and references. Stifle (talk) 13:50, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep if reliable sources can be located, the school appears to be relatively notable. Yamaguchi先生 04:22, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

• Comment You are kidding me right? LOOK at the article. What kind of sources do you want? The lunch menu? A list of courses offered? There is nothing of notability of this page. Furthermore, there is a section of current drop outs for the year? This page is a bunch of crap --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 12:25, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Do you have any idea what you are talking about. Read the article and use your brain, there is nothing to cite unless you want to dig up some poor Winchester Star or Northern Virginia Daily articles. Furthermore "LOOK at the article. ... This page is a bunch of crap..." hardly sounds respectable. I am in support of Yamaguchi, he is in support of the ideals of a Wiki, the collective effort of the people to improve knowledge, and while there is nothing to source, other people will come in aid of this project.

• Comment First of all, Please read No personal attacks. You can discuss something without lowering yourself to personal attacks. Secondly. Adding sources ie: the school's website, and some local award ceremony do NOT make the school notable. This school is NOT notable, the article is VERY POORLY written (A section that discusses what time the school has classes, and who dropped out of school this year are hardly worth mentioning -- along with 99% of the article). There is no point to having this on wiki. --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 14:45, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
• Sources Added In response I have added three news articles on MVGS from two sources and I am attempting to locate a link to the original article for one of the events. --Morphoray 14:22, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep Criteria for inclusion of school articles seems to be fairly broad. I've removed most of the crap, and it could use some more cleanup, but it's no less notable than most school articles around here. PCock 14:01, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. Just because there are other non-notable school articles out there doesn't mean this one should be kept, it means they should be deleted too. --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 14:46, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment I'm not arguing to keep because the other crap exists; but rather arguing that Wikipedia consensus is that this kind of crap is worthy of inclusion. PCock 15:29, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

• weak delete weak because I venture to guess that there might be content to add, if anyone who knew local sources was prepared to do the work. DGG 23:59, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

• Comment If you look back at the note when the page was created, along with the multiple revisions, you can easily tell that this page was created as a joke by some students of the school. --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 14:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete or stub and flag for the schools Wikiproject. Loks like a directory entry plus nonsense right now. Guy (Help!) 09:08, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
