[edit] Senior Lounge
- Why should the senior lounge be part of the article?
- Why should the senior lounge be part of the article?
- Numerous BEHS students have cited this in The Spartan Banner (not online)
-
- This is a completely manufactured controversy by some students at BE. It is completely not notable, despite being cited in the Spartan Banner, which is not a notable source anyway. Please stop adding it to the article and also stop deleting and editing the talk page to your own liking. (And, not that it matters, but how could you possibly know where I did or did not go to school?) Cheers, PaddyM 18:33, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I suppose you're right, the Spartan Banner really isn't a notable source for BROOKFIELD EAST HIGH SCHOOL. It's just THE SCHOOL PAPER after all. --news magazine
[edit] "Non-notable"
- In regards to what BaronLarf deleted, I think that the present information is relevant to the information about Brookfield East High School. Wikipedia is not paper, and I think that we should include anything that contributes to the information about BEHS. --Shawn 20:44, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- The thing is, they aren't notable at all. They simply graduated from the school and came back to teach. For example, life-long scholar? I've been a student all my life, so why wouldn't I qualify as a life-long scholar? In regards to the state-champs: they aren't notable either. Why don't we include all the state champs in every sport/forensics/chess teams/ad nauseum? There needs to be a line drawn, and including high school students who can tell good stories does not qualify them for being notable. It doesn't lessen their achievements not to be listed on wikipedia, it just doesn't make them encyclopedic. I also will pose a question: are the only acheivements from East related to the forensics team? Have they nothing else that is notable? If so, why aren't you adding the names of the students for each team that wins conference, takes second in conference, etc.? I appreciate that you have great pride in your school (and you should), but randomly listing people on the webpage b/c you like them is not a good reason to list them. --PaddyM 00:10, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

- You do make a good arguement, I guess that in an effort to note anything relevant to the school would be my goal. Why I don't list other things is because I am not knowledgable of the school's other acheivements. Others are welcome to contribute on those matters. I am not randomly listing people either, in fact a lot of the people on the page i don't know or aren't even friends with. So to suggest that I am inserting people's names just to publicise them would be incorrect. I appreciate your efforts to make a good article but I still think that these are notable. At the very least, I think it's reasonable to note faculty alumni. Perhaps we can shrink the national competition section and the state competition section.

Please read WP:NN and/or Wikipedia:Notability (people)#People still alive. Cheers. --BaronLarf 16:36, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
- I know very well the policy, but i still argue it is notable. But since it's Wiki policy i don't really have a choice now do I? --Shawn 16:45, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Doesn't Michael Votto make porn films?
[edit] Credits
I removed the listing of the school's credit requirements. This is an encyclopedia, not a student handbook. --mtz206 01:09, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
So we sugar coat things here at wikipedia? Thanks Blnguyen
