Talk:St Eunan's College

message: This page should not include any information that wouldn't be found in a standard enclyclopedia entry on the subject. Naming individual members of staff is meaningless to anyone not associated with the school, and it violates Wikipedia:Vanity guidelines. The same goes for students, past or present, unless they've done anything sufficiently noteworthy!

message: This page contains some useful information and the school is notable. However, there are plenty of unsourced claims which cannot be verified. These will be removed. The page also contains large quantities of non-notable informaton such as alumni without the notability to have wikipedia entries (red links), 15 photographs of the schools and its rooms, a list of non-notable past presidents, mention that the school has a library that contains Time magazine, details of school trips. 
::Although at least half of the content of this page should be removed, I disagree with part of the above.  Alumni that are notable enough to be worth an article should be listed and redlinked--that's part of what builds the project in general, right?  Somebody may be prompted by the link to go and add the article.  "Notable alumni" should also include people that are "notable" in some meaningful (and verifiable) way, even if there is not enough information to justify an article.  I don't know anything about Irish football, so I'm not making any guesses about the footballers, but the "artist" (who decorates children's bedrooms with characters created by Disney and others) and the priest (whose short obituary reveals an admirable but unexceptional career, with no information except his parish postings) don't seem to be likely topics of articles.  I think that it's up to neutral Irish editors to decide whether they should be removed--I'm just going to de-link them. --Hjal 18:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

text: As promised, the unsourced and non-notable material has been largely removed. Here are some suggestions for how to improve the article:
*Create wiki pages for those alumni with red links: inter-county footballers etc.
*Get a better photo of the school. The one remaining photo is very dark (try to get the sun behind you).
*Use the Template:IrishSchoolInfoBox to lay out the basic information about the school
*Get a proper logo for the school (maybe scan one) rather than the image that has been ripped from the school web site with whoosh lines
*Get a source for 'The college is now also the number one athletics and basketball school in the county' so that this doesn't have to be deleted.

replies: text: Well it's better but it still reads like a child's project. Boasting that your school has a library with Time magazine and a wheelchair ramp is like boasting that your kitchen is equipped with a kettle and a sink. I don't think the student who is tirelessly defending these unremarkable assertions understands that the school's reputation is diminished as a result. Curtains99 00:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Unsourced and non-notable content

message: Really? That counts as a source? For the "building" of the new extension, its validity should be trusted by a link to the official site of the school?
Can I add that I was the greatest ever student of the college, link to my "weblog" as a source, and claim that what I say is true? Because, after all, I have linked documentation to back up what I say. Isn't this how idiots "footnote" their "books"?
This is ridiculous. Who is responsible for this entry?

thread_title:  So the St. Eunan's official site is a source? 

message: What...is this supposed to be a proper, informed article on St. Eunan's College, or a stupidly hysterical "piece" on how amazing it is?
What, are we also the best American football side in Ireland? Maybe we have provided the most professional "people from Letterkenny" in the country? Aren't we the only ones to do that.
I don't find this page embarrassing. Just amazingly idiotic....though it's hilarity has amused me, I must say. Bravo.
Is that the point? Is the point of the page to enetrtain past pupils by its ridiculous assertions? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dwayneshintzy (talk • contribs) 03:48, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I've just finished my secondary level education at this school and I can safely say that this article is a HUGE VANITY PAGE!! 
It fails to mention that the facilties are in an appalling condition.
The heating rarely works in winter. At the start of the year, plaster collapsed from the first floor ceiling. The place is a dump.
Sport is the ONLY THING THIS SCHOOL SUCCEEDS IN! In terms of academics, St. Eunans is an awful state. Most of the people I know who went there went on to waste their talents and their lives. The curriculum has been handicapped by underfunding for years. 
Despite what this article says, THIS SCHOOL DOES NOT GIVE IT'S STUDENTS A MODERN EDUCATION. 
IT'S ALL A PACK OF LIES!!
:*The incident where the plaster collapsed is given extensive coverage. But yes, this article is in an awful state. --86.40.194.11 21:41, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The quality of this article says a lot about the quality of the school. They were once visited by a golfer and they hold quizzes. 192.122.221.55 01:52, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  absurd 

message: This page appears to be a reprint of information found solely on the college web site or in the minds of students.
Please take a look at WP:V for Wikipedia's policy that information added must be verifiable. The source for nearly the entire content of this page is the college's own website. This is a self-published source. Per WP:V, self publisghed sources may be used for information about themselves so long as 
*it is relevant to their notability
*the article is not based primarily on such sources
I'm afraid that this article fails on both counts. I'd like to see the whole content removed bar anything that distinguishes the school from other schools.

thread_title:  What's going on here? 

message: :Image:Eunanslogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Eunanslogo.jpg

message: The galleries in this article do not appear to meet the guidelines at WP:IG and so were removed. They have been restored with a claim that the removal was bad faith. What is the purpose of them? The pictures of nondescript classrooms seems particularly pointless and the other images of various non notable parts of the school do not seem to add any value. noq (talk) 18:14, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
