[edit] Summit Middle School (Coquitlam)

Summit Middle School (Coquitlam) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Nothing notable asserted about this middle school. Arthurrh 18:58, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep It's been fixed appropriately. Well done. Arthurrh 02:11, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Nothing notable about this middle school is asserted in the article. The content is far less encyclopedic than other middle school article's. —C.Fred (talk) 23:05, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - We cannot have articles for all the middle school. Masterpiece2000 12:09, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - I can find a number of articles about the school that demonstrate some notability. For instance:
    • They won the Maple Leaf Junior Tour's Girls national championship title for gold — a national sports award for young girls. Keel collects national title, Coquitlam Now. New Westminster, B.C.: Sep 5, 2007. pg. 35.
    • They were noted for having one of their teachers play one of the leads in a theatrical production of Aladdin, designed for middle school students. Principal role for Summit teacher, Coquitlam Now. New Westminster, B.C.: Dec 8, 2006. pg. 23.
    • They helped in the production of another play, MAGIC!, designed and run by middle school students. Theatrix makes the MAGIC! happen: Musical adventure written and staged by local young people, Coquitlam Now. New Westminster, B.C.: Apr 12, 2006. pg. 17.
    • They were chosen for a session of "Odyssey of the Mind", an NASA-backed international educational program. Odyssey of the Mind founder to visit Summit Middle School, Simone Blais. Coquitlam Now. New Westminster, B.C.: Nov 15, 2003. pg. 15.
    • They had a student win one of BC's Junior Achievement of B.C.'s 2000 Awards. Kudos, The Vancouver Sun. Vancouver, B.C.: Jul 24, 2000. pg. C.8.
    • They participated in a very successful high/middle school partnership program which attrached media attention. Big buddies make a lasting impression on young student, Scott Simpson. The Vancouver Sun. Vancouver, B.C.: Jun 14, 2000. pg. B.1.FRO.
    • The school itself was part of the BC Ministry of Education's new cost-cutting construction measures, and one of the first two to be built to those specifications. Economics 101: Expensive schools off the curriculum, Suzanne Fournier, Staff Reporter. The Province. Vancouver, B.C.: Oct 5, 1997. pg. A.24.
  • I think this demonstrates that it has sufficient notability. --Haemo 23:00, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
    • The problem is the article is written in a completely different direction. Instead of talking about the school being one of the first built under the ministry's new cost-cutting rules, the article talks about the hallway being narrow. That's one of the major problems I see with the article: the aspects covered on the subject or non-encyclopedic, and the overall tone is non-encyclopedic. —C.Fred (talk) 00:18, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
      • Sounds like a problem for cleanup, not deletion. --Haemo 01:18, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
      • Which I have now done. --Haemo 02:08, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep as nomination withdrawn - nomination properly withdrawn on the addition of content and independent, verifiable sources to meet WP:N. TerriersFan 04:21, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Technically invalid, since there are other editors advocating the delete position. I'm going to review the article myself, since I'm one of them. —C.Fred (talk) 15:52, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Schools-related deletions. —TerriersFan 04:30, 2 December 2007 (UTC)}}
  • Keep. My goodness, we have a ridiculous number of third party sources here which establish notability. RFerreira 08:27, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Since my first assessment, the article has been improved substantially, including the third-party sources RFerreira mentioned above. Accordingly, I have changed my recommendation. —C.Fred (talk) 15:55, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's obviously been fixed up! --Galaxy250 22:45, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Good work! Nice article Victuallers 22:38, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
