Nova Project[edit]

I nominate to delete these two sentences about a "small alternative high school" in Seattle. I have not seen anything that establishes it as notable.--Pharos 05:30, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Not notable. The second sentence is even written in first person plural. jni 06:27, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • A big-city public alternative high school "where students and teachers participate equally in the decision-making process" is pretty notable. (I went to one, which made the lead story in a large daily tabloid. "Stripper High: Sex, drugs and rock and roll at bizarre alternative school.") Keep/cleanup/expand. Samaritan 08:04, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, excrutiatingly obvious vanity. —Korath (Talk) 10:57, Jan 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, written clearly as vanity. If a good article had been written about this school, I may have been persuaded to merge or even keep it, but this isn't a unique thing (I recall there has been a similar school established for several decades in the UK that has produced at least one moderately famous alumni). They also give no idea of size - if it is twelve students and two teachers, it's not exactly notable. Average Earthman 12:54, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Please try again. GRider\talk 18:04, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Yet another school to keep, cleanup and expand.--Centauri 21:53, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. No evidence yet presented that this is a notable school. (Being a school is not an automatic qualification for an encyclopedia.) In addition, current article is a copyvio (and has now been marked as such). Rossami (talk) 22:39, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Gamaliel 04:21, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. --BM 23:33, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • I see the current article is copyvio'd so the is moot, but I know the school and suspect that a proper article on it could show notability. -- Jmabel | Talk 02:55, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
    • I feel a little guilty for nominating this article while my own high school alma mater has an undisputed article on Wikipedia, and only did so because it seemed like the sort of thing that most Wikipedians reject, considering its apparent non-notability. If you or someone else were to write a new article demonstraing notability and without obvious promotional and copyright problems, I would gladly support it.--Pharos 05:04, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. No current evidence of notability. Jayjg (talk) 03:32, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
