Talk:Banchory Academy

"Banchory Academy is among the better public (state) schools in Scotland, and performs consistently well amongst the older years, with a large number of pupils staying on to do Highers before progressing to University." --- Care to back this up with any sort of citation?

http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/scottishschoolsonline/schools/5thyear.asp?iSchoolID=5251834 I believe that to be sufficient as a reference. Quiksilver4Eyes (talk) 16:25, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Multiple Issues Tagged
This article appears to have relatively little encyclopaedic content about the school, cites no references (WP:VERI), and has degenerated somewhat into a forum for posting negative press (WP:NPOV), and needs a good tidy up! Have removed obviously incorrect or WP:VAND material and tagged for cleanup. Seajay (talk) 10:31, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Given the large sections of content in this article under Banchory in the news and The Coffee Bar that are really WP:SOAP or at the very least WP:OR or WP:NPOV, I would propose removing these sections. They are not really helpful in describing Banchory Academy itself - they are simply describing some recent events that took place there.  This article really should have more information about the Academy itself, have a look at Scotch College, Perth, a recent featured article on the schools portal as an example of good practice for school encyclopedia articles.


 * As stated in WP:NOT, "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information; merely being true or useful does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia.". If no-one else tidies this up in the next few weeks I will remove a lot of this stuff. Seajay (talk) 07:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)


 * No further information or citations, and no-one has attempted tidy up, so am taking the step of sorting this and removing all non-encyclopedic content, to try to bring it more in line as a basic stub article. Still needs expanding with relevant content of course! Seajay (talk) 12:19, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
