Birchview Elementary School moved to Birchview Elementary School (Plymouth, Minnesota)

NN ankle biter farm, article far below WP standards Pete.Hurd 02:37, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article is a hoax, no indication of the putative school's location, the write-up suggests the editor intends the article to be humourous, ironic, or some such thing. School cannot be verified. Recommend delete Pete.Hurd 02:39, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and possibly contact the administration of Wayzata High School in Marion, Minnesota per the anonymous user's history. This is a high school student so it's not appropriate to repeat here, but I think you'll find the vandal's name. Durova 05:03, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: hoax? "putative school"? "cannot be verified"? When I did a Google search on the term "Birchview", this school in Plymouth, MN was the third item on the search result. See this. The article isn't much, but to call the author a vandal is a huge stretch. Please assume good faith and don't bite the newbies! -- DS1953 06:06, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Durova's "vandal" comment may refer to vandalism to Natural selection which was comitted by the same IP as the creator of this article. I found this article by checking up the contributions of that IP after reverting that vandalism. Enough time passed between the two events that I would not necessarily assume they were by the same person. Pete.Hurd 07:53, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Check the page history at Wayzata High School, which was altered from the same IP address on the same day this article was created. Especially note the text inserted and the comment by the person who cleaned up afterward. Durova 08:45, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is not an article, it is a biased review of the school. The article even fails to define its location, so we cannot tell whether it is about the school in Plymouth, Minnesota, Macon, Missouri, Ishpeming, Michigan or some other place.

Keep - rewrote article. Its obviously the one in Plymouth, Minnesota - since thats next to Wayzata High School lol. Its an actual school, and our policy on schools is that, for the most part, we keep them. Oh, I only did a stub for the article though. Mind you, since there's more than one school with the same name, perhaps we can disambig the page. That makes it MORE NOTABLE not less. Zordrac 10:08, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I was not aware that it was WP policy to keep all school articles. Can you point me to this? Pete.Hurd 15:59, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. ~~~~ 10:19, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
Speedy delete as empty: It's a predicate nominative now that it's verifiable. A fact is not an article, and before someone says "improve it," improving at this point is functionally no different from "write it from scratch," except that it means carrying a vandal attack in the edit history.

Delete. Short of being the site of a signficant event I fail to see how any elementary school can be notable. --StuffOfInterest 16:07, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all schools. Please participate at WP:SCH instead of nominating schools for fruitless no-consensus defacto keep votes. Hipocrite - «Talk» 16:18, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the article I nominated [1] and tell me again why you think such a thing should not be nominated for AfD! Pete.Hurd 16:31, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

{sofixit}. List it for cleanup at Schoolwatch. Hipocrite - «Talk» 16:51, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

So all school articles belong to a magical subset of articles in which no lower bounds of quality exist? They can never be bad enough to merit deletion? All that verbiage about "don't take it personally" and how AfD is a constructive process in the AfD literature just doesn't apply to the magical category of schools? I'm not going to {sofixit}, I spend far too much time working on topics of actual encyclopedic value as it is. Pete.Hurd 17:00, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In other words, "yes". School articles have a unique set of standards. Pete.Hurd 17:47, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
