[edit] PVLC

Whatever the notability requirements exist for a school club, I don't think the Pine View Latin Club meets them. Starwiz 16:31, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

  • In defense of PVLC I don't see the harm in leaving the PVLC page up. Anything added to it is pure fact, and students from the school may find it useful, as many Pine View kids are very fond of Wikipedia and enjoy learning anything, especially if it relates to the school.

  • Delete Non-notable, OR, unverifiable. If this stays, we'll have an article for every chess club, A/V crew, debate squad, etc. at every school in the English-speaking world. Fan-1967 16:50, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Don't delete So what if there are pages on school clubs? Wikipedia needs to take the step forward and become an encylopedia on EVERYTHING. Pine View Latin Club makes this bold first step, and even so, as pointed out by Rabbitspawn - students from Pine View may find it useful. In response to it being unverifiable, I believe that to be ridiculous - this is most definitely verifiable. Contact the teacher of the class through the school's homepage, and he can verify. Additionally... I'd like to quote Wikipedia's guide to notability. This article is verifiable and does not contain original research. As there are no specific guidelines presented regarding school clubs, I refer to this paragraph - and by it, PVLC should not be deleted.

It has been argued that lack of "notability" is not a criterion for deletion, because (among other things) this isn't specifically stated in the deletion policy; and since Wikipedia is not paper and (in theory) has no size limits, there's no reason why Wikipedia shouldn't include "everything" that fits in with our other criteria, such as verifiability and no original research.

  • Delete I am sorry for the creator of the article, who had good intentions and took considerable effort with it, but I also don't think that Wikipedia is the right place for it.--Húsönd 02:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
