[edit] The Orator

Original article was deleted. The new article is much better but unfortunately the subject is still non-notable. It is the school newspaper of a local elementary school. Notability is asserted but there is no verifiable evidence of it. Replaced prod with Afd. My vote would be Delete Dipics 13:28, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• Reluctant but strong Delete. It's nice that it got cleaned up, but it's still an elementary school newspaper. Unless it "broke" one or more stories of major import, and/or served as the starting grounds of one or more extremely well-known journalists, it is hard to imagine ANY elementary school newspaper meeting standards of notability. The author seems to be asserting that notability is imparted by the paper's affiliation with/sanction by a governmental entity (i.e., a school), which would set a very sloppy precedent. --Pagana 17:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Whether elementary schools are encyclopedically notable is a matter for debate. Whether their newspapers are is not. --Kinu ^t/_c 23:48, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete, it's an elementary school newspaper. Absolutely no evidence of any kind of notability. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 01:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Student organizations that exist at only a single school are generally non-notable. However, this school is apparently not an elementary school. Grammar school means different things in different countries, and this school apparently covers the equivalent of 6th to 12th grade. --Metropolitan90 04:41, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
