Talk:Prince of Wales Mini School

class of 1988
The exceptional attributes of the class of '88 were initially noted in 1985 by Mr. Gellard, a humanities teacher who led them backpacking for a week in the Cathedral Lakes Park, spending quality time with them in a variety of terrains, and being absolutely, completely lost for at least 5 of those days.

Assessment
I am assessing this article following a request. The article currently needs a lot of work, and barring a few external links does not reference material at all, and as a result I am demoting it to Start-class. I am not even convinced that the school programme passes Notability and hence deserves its own article, school programmes are generally not notable, and if this programme is an exception to this it needs to show it better through the article. Much of the article content seems to be rather promotional (WP:NPOV) and go into trivial details which are of little interest to a wider audience (WP:WPSCH/AG). I would suggest this be merged and re-directed to Prince of Wales Secondary School with a summary of the programme kept there. Camaron · Christopher · talk 11:49, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

After waiting a bit I have decided to be bold and merge it back into the main school article. The article still did not pass WP:N and a Google search does not bring up much to achieve it, and per above school programmes are generally not notable enough for their own article. Most of the previous article violated policy, particularly WP:NPOV, and hence was of little benefit staying around. Camaron · Christopher · talk 13:04, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

As a student of this school, I feel that there is a need to keep this article. It allows past, present, and future students to access information that is otherwise unavailable to them, without having the need to visit the school. Also, this school "program" is notable within the City of Vancouver, and is considered one of the better schools. By condensing this article into a section, in my opinion, loses a lot of information that is otherwise beneficial to others. Briguychau (talk) 02:09, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well the current article does not pass the Notability guideline, and I have not yet heard or seen anything that convinces me otherwise, and the burden is on those wishing to keep the article to show it can pass policies/guidelines, particular given this goes against general precedent as described above. I am relaxed on article inclusion so I will leave it for now but if these issues are not settled in lets say a month, I may take it to WP:AfD or similar. Elementary issues such as WP:NPOV also need to be resolved. Camaron · Christopher · talk 21:26, 2 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Since the above concerns have not been resolved I have reverted this article back to a re-direct. Please do not re-create it without addressing them. Camaron · Christopher · talk 18:34, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
