Campaign of The Young Republican

It's a completely nn student film. There aren't any reliable sources in the article. I tried PROD, but it was removed without comment by the article's creator. Deranged bulbasaur 19:47, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

This is the editor of that page, and I apologize for deleting your message without replying, it was a mistake. Anyway, the reason this page shouldn’t be deleted is because Beachwood High School located is Beachwood, Ohio has not put out many short films but have the abilities to. Beachwood’s technology program is innovative, and like no other school systems, from one-to-one laptops, to the incredible amounts being spent for funding for the program. With all of these things on Beachwood’s side they still seemed unable to ever produce a seriously made short film. Finally their problems were solved when a student stepped up and made one. Teachers, and administrators of the school supervised the project, also many characters in the film were played by school administrators. The production, and scripts were read through and approved by administrators of the district. This article is pertinent because this is first thing to set the school district apart from others. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Maeisenberg (talk • contribs).


 * Delete, no notability demonstrated by citations from reliable and independent sources. Wikipedia is not for promoting your film or school or other project, no matter how inspiring the collaboration was to you personally. --Dhartung | Talk 20:16, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I understand your reasoning, but if you should allow a city it’s own page, then you should allow the city’s product it's own. If you really don’t believe an article is appropriate I will add my article as a sub-article to the Beachwood High School article. The reason you would delete this is absent, and wrong because you don’t understand the importance to the district. I can add a newspaper article about this short films from the city’s paper if necessary. --Maeisenberg 20:24, 28 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Merge Use as a short addition to the school's page, and do not redirect. First, this is about the film, not the program; the film doesn't seem to meet notability guidelines. It sounds like this could be a nice short addition to the school article, though, talking about the program itself. (Do get some outside references to back it up, though.)

 * Strong Delete and Oppose Merge - a student project, with no reliable sources made for a class at school is not notable, nor should it be merged to the page of the school it is about. --Haemo 23:02, 28 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete and Support Merge - I can't see allowing every student film a wikientry. It's bad enough that so many 'professional' films already have wiki entries.  However, merging this with a school article seems fine.  It would make a decent paragraph within the school article. Jmcnamera 01:47, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Changed my vote on Support Merge. It would be almost worse if every school's projects flooded their articles regardless of notability.  Maybe I should put my 20 yr old shop class project onto my school's article. Jmcnamera 01:50, 29 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete as unsourced and per non-notable school project. No to merge as it does not even come close to the level of notability of the school, and a merge would unjustifiably swamp the school article. Ohconfucius 02:34, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, so 'merge' was probably the wrong way to put it in my earlier comment. Basically, what I was saying was that if the program has received coverage as being innovative or otherwise making it stand out from the tens of thousands of other student programs at high schools, then it should be part of the high school's article AS A SHORT MENTION, and only if there's WP:RS to work with. I had absolutely no intention of saying that this particular film should be dumped into the school article. Tony Fox (arf!) 05:48, 29 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete and Oppose Merge per all above arguments. The idea of a short mention in the school's article is worthy of consideration, though. --JayJasper 18:37, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
