[edit] The Sentinel (student magazine)

The Sentinel (student magazine) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This article is an unreferenced summary of alleged controversies involving a high school magazine. There are no sources, just a claim of newspaper coverage on one occasion and another mention of an article in response to a major newspaper. The article is largely original research claiming notability without proof. Given that the article has also been a target for high school vanity (see the talk page for trolling comments), it should be deleted or possibly merged to Melbourne High School if there is anything worth salvaging.

  • Delete Notability is lacking, sorry. Ecoleetage (talk) 23:13, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge whatever can be sourced and cited to RS to Melbourne High School (Victoria). A search is proving problematic due to name and the Orlando, Florida paper of the name name, which occasionally mentions Melbourne, Florida TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 23:17, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Merge to Melbourne High School (Victoria). I'm sure these budding young journalists, happily free to stir up the pot as much as they please, create firestorms of controversy in their high school homerooms for a day and a half, but that doesn't translate into notability, and no reliable sources exist.  RGTraynor  14:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. No notability, independent references not forthcoming in a search. 24.106.202.234 (talk) 16:55, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable outside the local area. Merge as a second option. Stifle (talk) 18:23, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Merge relevent and sourced content to Melbourne High School per RGTraynor. -- Mattinbgn\talk 05:03, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge to Melb High School. Deserves a couple of lines there, nothing more, nothing less. Five Years 11:54, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - simply lacks the secondary sources to meet WP:N. Merging is not a valid option; we don't merge unsourced material. TerriersFan (talk) 22:19, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete coatrack article that is focused much more on the controversies of the student publication than on the publication itself. After the deletion, a redirect to Melbourne High School (which will eventually need disambiguation as there is also a Melbourne High School in Melbourne, Florida, USA) would be appropriate. B.Wind (talk) 03:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Agree with B.Wind, above. There's nothing noteworthy here. It's a high school newspaper and it is already referenced in the high school's article. That's enough, there is nothing to merge. - Nabla (talk) 13:02, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge to Melbourne High School (Victoria). Hardly notable, but worth a paragraph or two on its high school page.  Frank  |  talk  14:58, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
