Walter Reed Middle School IHP Program

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contested prod by article creater. This is a middle school gifted program at Walter Reed Middle School, which already has its own article. The program in question is already mentioned there. While I would ordinarily merge, there is little encyclopedic content in this article and no citations. I'll note that the article was already vandalized within its first hour of creation.

Delete Nothing here worth merging - the page has no references and looks like it was written by a seventh grader - and there is a no point in a redirect since a search for it will automatically suggest the Walter Reed Middle School page. While we're at it let's consider whether to merge Walter Reed Middle School to Los Angeles Unified School District. I find nothing at that article to suggest that this middle school is notable, and the normal practice would be to merge it to the relevant school district. --MelanieN (talk) 04:54, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I think this article should be kept on wikipedia, because it was seemed to be written on personal knowledge and is there for informational reasons. There is nothing inappropriate nor bad and is all for information. This middle school is very notable for the fact that it has been nominated and has won many accomplishments and awards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Superbananacookies (talk • contribs) 05:52, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Superbananacookies, please understand that we are not trying to put down your school or its program. We're not saying there is anything inappropriate or bad in the article. It's just that a subject has to meet certain criteria to have an article here - read WP:N and specifically WP:SCHOOL for details about what is required. And please don't be discouraged if the article is deleted. Your good-faith contributions are welcome, but you might start out in a smaller way, by reading articles and making small corrections, until you figure out how things work here. --MelanieN (talk) 14:53, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non notable middle school program written in an a promotional manner. "...written on personal knowledge" is itself a reason to delete. Standard Wikipedia practice is that awards do not confer notability. Note that Superbananacookies is associated with the program (see their userpage) and created the article.
