Help request
I'm having trouble finding out how to make the Craig Kielburger Secondary School page more neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mdruiven (talk • contribs)
 * Have a read of the following pages, this should help you:
 * Conflict of interest
 * Neutral point of view
 * What Wikipedia is not (specifically NOTADVERTISING)
 * Hope this helps. -- Patchy1  02:02, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

I've read through the links and believe that the article about Craig Kielburger Secondary School is neutral and not advertising. The article briefly lists programs available at this school, programs not found in an ordinary high school and these are all researched with links. To simply report that there is a High School named Craig Kielburger Secondary School and name the principal without listing these programs is pointless. Why would any High School put a listing on Wikipedia except to show achievements and list specialities? Would a school listing itself as being Catholic be called out for appearing to advertise? Would a school listing itself as having a Football team be called out? Is there a Conflict of Interest? Not really. I have nothing to gain from looking after this article. It's just more work.Mdruiven (talk) 01:31, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Mdruiven. It appears that you have a fundamental misunderstanding regarding Wikipedia's purpose and mode of operation. Schools do not "put a listing" on Wikipedia; this is not The Good Schools Guide. Wikipedia is an encylopedia which catalogues information about notable subjects, that is to say, subjects that have already been covered in reliable, indpendent sources. Thus, to take the example of Craig Kielburger School, if independent sources (such as newpapers or books) have written about the school, then we would try to have an article about it. However, none of the sources currently in the article do anything more than list the school, meaning that its notability is not established (we require significant coverage in multiple independent sources). Whilst secondary school articles are not usually deleted for lack of coverage, there is a distinct lack of verifiable information regarding the school. As such, it would be more appropriate as a stub article, until better sources are found. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  10:34, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
