So much for my aspirations of becoming an A-List Wikipedian.

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)

Schools

• St Chad's R.C Primary School (AfD discussion)

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.

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)

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

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.

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.

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)

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.

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)

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

Your input is requested

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

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)

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.

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.

Alexander Graham Bell Public School (Ajax, Ontario)

A tag has been placed on Alexander Graham Bell Public School (Ajax, Ontario), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo, or other unlikely search term.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Robert Cecil Palmer Secondary School

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Robert Cecil Palmer Secondary School requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://central.gutenberg.org/article/whebn0006207130/robert%20cecil%20palmer%20secondary%20school. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   19:42, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
