[edit] Samsø højskole

Not notable. Most google links are not in English, maybe it belongs in the DK wiki? Vegaswikian 19:54, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep anything which belongs in the DK wiki. 463 google hits isn't bad for a Danish weight loss center. Kappa 19:59, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I don't really see how this is notable. Martg76 23:00, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, Kappa's votes are becoming more and more extreme. RickK 00:51, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep this article needs expansion and explanation. A special school for obese students is pretty notable. Klonimus 04:06, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment the article has been expanded with data that appears to conflict with some of the origional information. This new data also reads like advertising from someone associated with the school. Vegaswikian 06:12, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep this article needs to gain some weight though. JamesBurns 07:04, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, this seems to be a tertiary school or a special school and they are notable. But send to cleanup, the last paragraph should rid itself of all the "you"s. Incidentally, I do disagree with Kappa's opinion that anything on the Danish Wikipedia must also belong on the English one. The Danes follow their own standards for notability (they might choose decide that all Danish professors are notable for instance), the English-speakers can follow their own.

    • I agree that each wp can have its own standards, but I strongly oppose the idea that the English wp should focus more on Anglophone related topics, which is what Vegaswikian seems to imply. Kappa 21:48, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • ACK. Martg76 22:24, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • I was thiking that the DK wiki would have an article and then we could copy/translate, sorry I don't know the correct term, to the EN version. Vegaswikian 03:20, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Kappa, I agree with you that we should not be anglophone. What I disagreed with you was that anything on Danish Wikipedia must also belong on English Wikipedia. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:07, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, nn. Radiant_>|< 09:38, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep this article on a unique weight loss school. --Unfocused 16:17, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep -- Stereotek 10:11, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: ask for opinion some Danish editor here. Pavel Vozenilek 00:11, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm the author of the entry for Samsø Højskole", and I must say I'm a bit dissapointed about this discussion. When I heard about the idea of Wikipedia, I cheered because I thought that it was a worldwide compilation of information, where everybody with valid information could make an entry. (Granted the entry could be better, but I will try to expand it in time) On this school we have Sweedes, Norwegians, Estonians who are all trying to fight a problem with weight, and my initial reason for the entry was to inform people all over that there is a place where you can get help. We do not limit our service to danish people, we see this as a very important piece of work to reduce health problems in the world. I am a teacher at this school, and I do not think of this as an advertisement, this is meant as information and help to those who might want to consider a lifestyle change. If I enter a search entry in Wikipedia, I would like to get as much relevant information as humanly possible, and that's what I want to provide..
