[edit] El Rancho Charter School

you may want to revise your comment on this page apparently the school "placed first in the Southern California state Science Olympiad competition for nine consecutive years". Also, I am curious as to what your opinion is on the outcome of this discussion, given the circumstances.

Thank you. I updated my comments. The "Finger Lakes Christian School" article could perhaps be resurrected as a small section of the Seneca Falls page. As it was the school was pretty tiny, so it didn't quite cross my bar of notability. :-) — RJH (talk) 16:22, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough, I can respect that. Thanks for the feedback. Silensor 16:23, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Halo's RfA

Silensor...
Thank you very much for the constructive criticism in your oppose comment in my request for adminship. Ultimately, no consensus was reached, and I failed to be promoted, but I am very grateful for your coments. I will strive to better myself in all areas, especially Mainspace.

[edit] Schools

Thank you for letting me know. The "stuck record" arguments about schools that many editors wrongly use involve flawed blanket criteria (Notability isn't a blanket.), subjective judgments of what editors personally consider to be notable (Notability is not subjective.), and zero attention to actual sources. The WP:SCHOOL criteria should, like the WP:CORP criteria before them, get editors out of those "stuck record" arguments and onto the reading, citation, and evaluation of sources for the article at hand, which are the proper study of encyclopaedists. This is a good example. Two independent, non-trivial, published works satisfy the primary notability criterion of WP:SCHOOL. One can make an argument based wholly upon the provenance and depth of source material, without need for any blanket statements ("All X are notable/non-notable.") or subjective judgements at all.

If you can find multiple independent non-trivial sources for Coseley School (AfD discussion), Roberts Primary School (AfD discussion), and Straits Primary School (AfD discussion) too, we can perhaps nip any arguments based upon subjective judgements and flawed blanket statements in the bud in their AFD discussions, as well, and get editors focussed upon looking for, looking at, and evaluating sources instead.

[edit] JzG and Kappa

Please read my summary in the deletion review where I explain why what he did was not votestacking. JoshuaZ 21:22, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Also see Guettarda's remark on my talk page which is highly pertinent. JoshuaZ 21:28, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sandbox

Good point. I'll add a note. JoshuaZ 20:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ross Global Academy

This school is up for AfD and I think that it should be kept if the claims in it can be sourced. Since you seem to be in favor of keeping schools and are good at tracking down sources for them (and I'm a bit busy right now) I'd appreciate if you would help source the article. Thanks. JoshuaZ 02:52, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Northcentral University

You commented on an AFD for this article. I'm letting you know that I've deleted it because the entire article was essentially unsourced and didn't fit NPOV by any means. However, please do feel free to recreate the article with adequate sourcing- it's just that the POV warriors on the page had basically screwed it up beyond repair.

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Royal High School

Thank you for closing out this debate. Can you please restore the history for GFDL purposes? Silensor 21:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Done. (aeropagitica) 22:21, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
You are the best.  :-) Silensor 00:19, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka

Thank you very much for your support in my RfA. Unfortunately consensus was not reached, and the nomination was not successful. However, I do appreciate your comments, and found them very encouraging. Please rest assured that I am still in support of the Wikipedia project, and will continue to contribute without interruption. Thanks again! --Elonka 17:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RFA Thanks

Thanks!
Thanks for your input on my (nearly recent) Request for adminship, which regretfully achived no consensus, with votes of 68/28/2. I am grateful for the input received, both positive and in opposition, and I'd like to thank you for your participation.

[edit] Inquiry about User:Silensor/Schools

While looking through some old AfDs, I noticed this edit which gives a list almost identical to your list. I'm just wondering who got it from whom. JoshuaZ 06:19, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

The original document was created in large part by Unfocused, I'm not aware what contributions were made by Nicodemus, if any. Hope that helps. Silensor 06:11, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zanta

Note that Zanta has been restored, and place on AfD for a proper deletion debate. -- Zanimum 14:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your input is requested

Your input would be appreciated at this Request for Comments. Kelly Martin (talk) 18:44, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your consideration

Thank you for the consideration you gave to my RfA. To be chosen as an administrator requires a high level of confidence by a broad section of the community. Although I received a great deal of support, at this time I do not hold the level of confidence required, and the RfA did not pass. You were one of the oppose votes, and raised concerns. I am more than willing to discuss those concerns with you if you are interested. Please let me know. Sincerely, --BostonMA talk 03:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:List of media personalities who have vandalised Wikipedia

It looks like the deletion police are trying to circumvent a previous AFD again. See Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:List of media personalities who have vandalised Wikipedia. As you voted keep, could you cast your vote again? - Ta bu shi da yu 23:19, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion review of an article you commented on

This AfD is currently on deletion review. You commented in a prior review on the same article. ~ trialsanderrors 19:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration

I have initiated a Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration#Nearly Headless Nick disregarding consensus and consensus-related policies, a matter in which I believe you to have been involved in the case history of. Your commentary may be appreciated. Balancer 13:50, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Silensor/Schools

I have nominated this subpage of yours on MFD because it is duplicate content from another page (it's exactly the same, actually). You can participate in the discussion here. --Coredesat 05:43, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trinity Christian High School

I thought I would let you know that this article is up for deletion again and you can vote on it at the following page: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trinity Christian High School (2nd nomination)

[edit] Talk:Klein Independent School District

Hi, in view of your interest in Vistas High School Program you may wish to comment on a merge proposal at Talk:Klein Independent School District. TerriersFan 22:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please help

Centre 2000 is up for deletion again - you helped keep it once. :-( Also a similar article at Macleod Mall. Please weigh in on the discussion.68.144.31.71 02:57, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Long time, no see

The more things change, the more they remain the same. In your absence, with a lot of hard work, we've built consensus that high schools are notable based on an ample supply of reliable sources for such schools and a near perfect record of retention at AfD. Elementary and middle schools are another story, as you see with what you've returned to. I hope all is well with you and that you're back to help build Wikipedia into the encyclopedia it should be, not what a handful of self-appointed AfD devotees have decided for the rest of us.

[edit] Whiting Lane School

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Whiting Lane School, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
