[edit] The Accolade

The Accolade (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Non-notable school newspaper at a basically non-notable high school. Possible speedy delete? Fermatprime 17:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete No claim of notability that I can see. The masthead hasn't changed since 1997 - now that's, um, completely uninteresting. --Brianyoumans 17:59, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Danny Lilithborne 21:44, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Do not delete. The updated Awards section that notes the publication's recent award by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, makes the high school paper notable and, thus, not eligible for deletion.User:ydesai2008

Note to Brianyoumans: The masthead has changed numerous times since 1997, which becomes obvious if you compare the picture of the posted edition to a 1997 copy, which I will shortly upload.

  • My comment about the masthead was based on a sentence in the article; if it isn't true, you should take that out. The CSPA award was one of about 35 Silver Crowns given out to newspapers in 2006; they also gave out 27 higher level Gold Crowns. There may have been as many as a thousand entries (which come from CSPA members), although I would guess somewhat less than that (there were 1400 or so total, but that includes entrants in the yearbook and magazine categories.) I don't find that particularly notable, but others might. --Brianyoumans 04:28, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. NN, award notwithstanding. WMMartin 17:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
