[edit] Stowe middle school

Stowe middle school (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A non-notable middle school. Fails WP:V. Pretty major style problems and WP:COI issues (references to "our students" that I would fix if I saw any sources to base this article on. Delete Aagtbdfoua 13:42, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Forgot to mention, contested prod with the claim that this is better than 90-95% of other school articles. WP:INN aside, if true, I find this rather depressing. - Aagtbdfoua 13:44, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Non notable school. The article is much of a muchness with other nn school articles actually. (It's not notable so there's only so much you can say!). In any event a well written article does not make a non notable subject notable. Jules1975 15:21, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I am guessing students created this article as a school project, and was obviously written by someone assiciated with the school. Non Notable as well. --Hojimachongtalkcon 19:59, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
  • comment, this could be expanded into a Stowe High School or Stowe Combined School article, but delete if not, middle school articles are loathsome vanities. Chris 20:01, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Schools are not inherently notable. Soltak | Talk 22:48, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep One of the editors at WP:SCH, User:JimDunning, is taking a look at the article. As this falls under our project, I kindly request that the page not be deleted just yet. It's likely this page will need to be moved to an article on the Stowe School District or expanded as suggested. Although it may still be a long shot, please give us a chance to take a look at this. --Jh12 18:19, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable. I particularly commend Jules1975's last comment. WMMartin 20:06, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Jh12 otherwise redirect to the Stowe School District or appropriate parent article. (jarbarf) 17:35, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. To begin with, I want to remind everyone that there is not policy of notability on schools. The requirement of stating some assertion of notability is mainly created on the fact that millions of articles that are commercially based or focused individual self-promotion would be littered all over wikipedia. I believe that if any article that is not advertising in this said manner is viable. In addition, as an additional requirement, I believe that articles should have some substance and according to policy, they should have some referenced material or at least list some legitimate sources. This article appears to have some information, and in comparison to precedents, it is far more developed. I think some templates regarding style, etc. could be added to the page based on the issues that are being addressed. Nevertheless I am sure that in the future, individuals could work on and improve the article based on these sources. --Thank You. Sukh17 Talk | Contribs 19:34, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Destroy. Sorry, I'm not in the mood to write "delete" - oops, I just did. YechielMan 23:05, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Demolish Er, I mean, "delete". I don't see any special reason to keep this one. --Brianyoumans 23:08, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep --Vsion 18:03, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge or Delete. Do not Keep. There is nothing in the article that even attempts to establish notability or meet WP:SCHOOLS. This is not a place to request time to fix articles that don't establish notability. If and when that can be done, the article can be recreated and no one will object. 01:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Pardon, but WP:SCHOOLS has never been adopted as a Wikipedia policy. --Jh12 06:13, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
