Discovery Lab[edit]

Lacks notability, totally reads like an advert. If anyone can find notability (and this is a primary school we're talking about here), then it should probably be deleted and start over (IMHO). SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 02:24, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:Given that many schools create WP articles as a class exercise, perhaps it could be kept for them to improve? OTOH, I doubt it meets notability criteria. 121.44.227.79 (talk) 03:47, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply I believe this falls under WP:NOT#HOST. If they want to learn how to use MediaWiki as a class exercise, they can install it locally. If they want to learn how Wikipedia works, then this is exactly how it works. Articles that do not meet inclusion criteria are deleted, often through AfD. -Verdatum (talk) 18:23, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Probably notable based on differences in style from standard US primary schools, and alleged extra community activities, but its hard to tell without other sources than the school's website itself. Needs to be cleaned up, referenced, and made to read less like an ad.Z00r (talk) 07:48, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Primary and Middle schools are generally considered non-notable according to WP. The inclusion of independent reliable sources that establish notability could change my mind. -Verdatum (talk) 18:23, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Name squatting: "Discovery Lab" is the name of any number of services for middle schools. Utgard Loki (talk) 19:56, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
