[edit] Paul Yoder

Paul Yoder (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Originally I marked this for Speedy Deletion. However, editors have made a point to say that, while Paul Yoder may just be another teacher winning another local award, the article still asserts some relevance. He did win a BISD "Teacher of the Year Award", though I doubt mention in the local paper costitutes his qualification for an article. Ageofe 03:16, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Fails WP:V. Unreferenced for 3 months. Dbromage [Talk] 03:28, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete not notable--the award is within an individual school district only. such a local designation does not make someone notable. Even a teaching award in a college--or several of them--does tnot make someone notable. They have to be recognized as notable outside the school or the college. DGG (talk) 03:34, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I'm sure he's a great guy, but it's just not notable enough to have an article on him. There aren't any independent sources on him listed and the award appears to be only for the district. DarthGriz98 03:57, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. A local district's teacher of the year award does not make one notable by Wikipedia standards. Plus there's no verification. Looks very close to something someone made up in school one day. Realkyhick 05:35, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Teacher of the Year in a school district of nine schools doesn't make him notable, and it's not even verified. fuzzy510 07:11, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Teacher is not notable enough for own article, also has no verification per WP:V. Camaron1 | Chris 12:39, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
