Talk:List of fire drill regulations for schools in the United States

Tag
This looks to be a valid list of fire drill regs organized by American state. It is not "vandalism or spam" as implied by the tag on the article. I can hardly think of a more important topic than this material, which was recently spun out from fire drill. I would appreciate a detailed explanation from the person who tagged this and/or the rapid removal of the tag. -- JJay 10:02, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Transwiki - why?
Similar to the person who asked about the deletion tag, I would appreciate a detailed explanation from the person who tagged this article for being a candidate for being transwiki'd to Wikibooks. The same content was not ever tagged to be transwiki'd when it was part of the Fire drill article, and so what makes this any different? SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:49, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I can't speak for who originally added it, but I put it back because I saw it had been removed with comment, possibly accidentally. I'm not sure whether a transwiki is the right thing to do or not, but it seemed somewhat plausible to me. What's here clearly isn't even trying to be an encyclopedia article.  Maybe it's the beginnings of a legal textbook?  I dunno.  Reading what Wikibooks is about again, I'm not sure it's appropriate for there either.  Friday (talk) 01:16, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, the material was originally forked from the Fire drill article (see this revision to see how it looked in place there). So that's where it came from.  If you can clean it up, have at it, since it certainly reads differently than most "List of" articles on Wikipedia.  Perhaps we should move away from paragraphs and use a table or something?

 * If material was deemed unsuitable for one article and removed, that doesn't automatically mean it belongs in a different article. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, it's an encyclopedia.  I don't see that any amount of formatting can turn this into an encyclopedia article.

 * The only reason it was forked was because it had grown so large. Nothing to do with "unsuitable" at all, really.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 19:42, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
