Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/California Aerospace Academy
First, as the original author of the page I want to say a few things.  I respect Wikipedia's mission and policies.  And after reviewing the notability criteria, and the  guidelines, I do not have an argument against either of these.  BUT, I want to state for the record, that all those who posted that it should have a speedy delete, should review the |Criteria for Speedy Deletion, as they do not seem to apply in this instance, and I think proposing such a thing does not give enough chance for someone to bring up legitimate arguments against the deletion.  Also, as a teacher in the Grant district, I am hoping to encourage the students to Wikipedia:Be_bold_in_updating_pages|be bold, and post Wikipedia articles about their school.  I think it is an excellent way for them to learn about wikis, and about citing sources, and NPOV and all the other things wikipedia stands for.  But when I see people in a mob trying to delete articles so quickly, I would hate to encourage a 10 year old to be bold about writing about their school and have their page deleted under their nose.  I think the Wikipedia community should consider this issue with education, especially with kids, and see if it is willing to make exceptions to its notability policy for students posting about their own school.   Since I'm not a student, I don't apply to my proposed suggestion, and that is why I too agreed with current deletion
