Black and white (newspaper)
I'm not sure we need an article on every high school newspaper. It has recieved recent awards, but the majority of the information on the page is listing the recent students. --Laura Scudder | Talk 00:47, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I think we've established by now that we don't. Delete. --W(t) 02:23, 2005 May 28 (UTC)
 * Merge into article on parent high school. --FCYTravis 02:40, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into parent high school. -- Un  focused  02:51, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * The parent high school article could do with some content, so I agree with FCYTravis: Merge the introduction into the high school article, however the management and staff lists can go. JeremyA 03:13, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: High schools are not inherently more notable than banks. Particular branches need to distinguish themselves to merit an article.  Therefore, no merge.  The paper is just a HS paper, and the article is misnamed.  Delete, therefore. Geogre 03:29, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm not sure we need the list of 50-odd managers but the heart of the article is fine and notes ten recent national and state awards. Double Blue  (Talk) 03:35, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to school's page. I'm not sure the awards are notable.  It seems like every time I turn around I'm seeing yet another school paper that's gotten one of those, and I don't mean just in Wikipedia.  Xcali 04:47, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into parent high school. The National Scholastic Press Association Pacemaker Award  is a big deal and it is noteworthy that this high school's student newspaper has won it.  The NSPA has been giving these awards annually since 1927 as part of a national competition (in the US).  It's difficult to win and a notable achievement for its staff.  I'd like to see the content pared down (no need for the vanity section listing the current students on the staff) and merged in with the high school, which would bolster the school article's notability.Tobycat 05:04, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with the high school article (Walt Whitman High School). I don't think we really need the list of names of eveeryone working with the newspaper however. We don't have such lists for large, general newspapers. Sjakkalle 06:59, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge Black & White is also the name of one of Birmingham, Alabama's two major alternative weekly papers. If this were to be kept, it should at least disambiguate. Dystopos 04:56, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per DoubleBlue or merge. WebLuis 13:07, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
