Talk:Oyster River High School

message: I believe that this page is very incomplete.  I wish to add more details, recent events, and content.  Most notably, school board and committee info as well as recent appointments of top administrators.

message: This content describes a local set of circumstances that appear to have no bearing on the description of the subject school.  How is the hiring/almost hiring/firing/kind-of-dismissing a principal germaine to the article? Tiderolls 05:24, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No. It is a local issue. Local news, and as such, not encyclopedic.  It would serve you well to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:Notability and WP:BRD before editing further.  Tiderolls 07:36, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

text: Thanks for your constructive response.  Please understand that I am not saying that the situation is not important.  A couple of points. It would be beneficial (but not required) for you to create an account here so that your contributions could be preserved under one account rather than, what could be, many changing IP addresses.  More to the point; the sports standings and history of the school pertains to the school directly (see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS regarding your "if X shouldn't be included, then Z must go").  I don't doubt that this situation is of great importance to the school and the surrounding area.  However, the article is about the school.  The outcome of any deliberation by the local authorities might be apropos to the article, but I can't see where the decision making process itself is relevant.  Did you read the guideline and essay I referenced?  If there are wide-sweeping issues that are involved here then we do need to discuss that aspect.  Regards Tiderolls 08:23, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

text: Pruning the content would be a place to start.  YouTube is generally not considered a reliable source, so any content based that link is not viable.  As for the new article approach; that's not a bad idea but I still think the notability issue would arise.  It may be productive to seek the opinion of other editors by leaving a notice of this discussion at the schools Wikiproject (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Schools) or the Notability noticeboard (Wikipedia:Notability/Noticeboard), or even at both places.  If you do not want to post the messages, let me know and I will do it.  Regards Tiderolls 15:39, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

text: I think our take on the notability issue is sufficiently incongruous that it will require outside opinion.  Go ahead with your changes, though; I could be surprised, its happened before.  Thanks for your patience in this matter. Tiderolls 16:30, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

text: Ok, I'll admit I'm surprised.  That's roughly what I had in mind.  Understand that my interpretation is only one opinion; other editors may have a different (possibly more correct) take on the notability guideline.  I'm glad I didn't have to re-write the section...I hate writing.  Thanks for your effort. Tiderolls 16:52, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
