Recent content disputes[edit]

Here are my positions, which have been posted, thus far without response, from the two admins involved in the dispute.

"Remarkable" is a pov and weasal word. Said Admins, both of whom appear to understand policy, reinserted the weasel wording. Clearly a policy violation.
Members of a track team who win a relay state championship are not notable for inclusion in an article. To that end, Percy Harvin, who meets wikipedia notability requirements does warrant inclusion, ergo why he's included. Damon McDaniel, whoever that is, clearly does not meet the requirements either.
A JROTC is not a notable group in the grand scheme of a school. Even if it warrants inclusion, the student leaders of it do not.
A bomb threat on a local level is not notable to anyone outside the school population, and perhaps the community which supports the school. The threat met no national notoriety, no media sensation and didn't receive much coverage even locally based on a quick google search.

I find it curious that neither admin has taken the time to address any issue listed here. I'll wait a few and see if they actually have legitimate responses to my issue. 99.169.250.133 (talk) 02:52, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One of said admins is now, again, adding the contested portions of the article back in, without discussing here first. 99.169.250.133 (talk) 02:46, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You started this without discussion and just now removed without discussion, so what's the difference? — Rlevse • Talk • 02:49, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You completely ignored a request to actually have a discussion in the first place, and then kept removing things too...what's your point? Pot, kettle. 99.169.250.133 (talk) 06:23, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:N applies to article subjects and does not restrict content, "These notability guidelines only outline how suitable a topic is for its own article. They do not directly limit the content of articles. For Wikipedia's policies regarding content, see Neutral point of view, Verifiability, No original research, What Wikipedia is not, and Biographies of living persons."
I've written the school for sourcing on the choral history, no reason not to wait on removal until I've fully researched it, plus it seems entirely plausable and I don't see any reason to doubt it - I've seen evidence of the group's excellence in various school sources, just seeking better sources to back up the broad statements in the article. If I can't find them, then I'll remove them.
"Star" is not POV, it's sourced and it's accurate. Two sources identify those players as "stars", e.g. Landstown stars commit to University of Florida.
The list of individuals awarded honors and making records is fine, there's no policy that prohibits their inclusion, again WP:N does not directly limit the content of articles. Dreadstar ☥ 03:25, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Holy crap, you do know where a talk page is. You'd think an admin would have at least been able to engage in discussion at some point. I still object to listing individual winners of awards, as I think they're not notable, and I still think calling them "stars" is pov and a weasel word. I'll work toward a consensus, it would have been nice if you two "admins" had attempted any kind of a resolution in the first place. I guess that's too much to ask. 99.169.250.133 (talk) 06:28, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
