[edit] The Yorktown Sentry

The Yorktown Sentry (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

I did speedy this, but at protests from the creator I'm putting it here. I'm concerned that this article doesn't meet WP:NOT guidelines; I see nothing in the article that merits its own page. Rather, I propose merge into the appropriate Yorktown High School article. Dåvid ƒuchs (talk • contribs) 23:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Creator: Actually I didn't know that an article could also be put here ... hmm. Well I still think the article should be kept seperate, if added to the Yorktown High School page (linked above) I believe that page would become cluttered. There is a full category for Student Newspapers, quite a few of which are high school newspapers, and I see no reason why this shouldn't be in that category. Danielfolsom 23:07, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
P.s. What is this page (what I'm writting in)? Why aren't we using the talk page anymore?

This is the official forum for discussion of this article, to see if there's a consensus for delete/merge and keep. As for 'cluttered', if not much on the page is notable, then getting rid of the non-notable stuff would result in less clutter, and make a better article.

• After looking at the article, I think a Smerge of a few sentences to the "Activities and Clubs" section of Yorktown High School (Virginia) would be the best solution, for the reasons stated by the nominator. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 16:59, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
• Merge first sentence into the school's page as suggested, while deleting the unencyclopedic rest of the article. I see no reason even to leave a redirect in place, so the AfD is not wholly pointless. Henning Makholm 22:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

• Just for the record, we aren't supposed to merge and delete, since it violates the chain of contribution. A merge and redirect would be fine, though. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 13:16, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete then, and afterwards let somebody add a single sentence to the school's article stating that it has a student-run newspaper. Henning Makholm 23:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

• Unencyclopedic? In what way? Given that it is the most succesful student paper in Arlington (it prints more copies than the Sun Gazzete, a non-student newspaper) I think it's relative, and as far as information goes it details the process involved in the creation of the Sentry, the contents in the Sentry, and the Sentry website.Danielfolsom 03:02, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable. Nuttah68 13:12, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
• Merge what's notable into main high school article per nom. --Wizardman 05:54, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
