thread_title:  Important Notes Before Editing This Article 

message: This school does not list any secondary sources of information to demonstrate that it is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia.  If this school is notable then we would expect to see numerous articles written about the school and it's importance.  We do not have any of these and thus we should either find some secondary sources or remove this page.  Vivaldi (talk) 06:30, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree on the notability, but that might change if some citations are added.  I don't agree that the school needs to list anything, athe as that would make this an advertisement for the school.  Requiring the school itself to list anything would probably both violate WP:NPOV and WP:SPAM.  Further, your saying, "This school does not list any secondary sources of information to demonstrate that it is worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia."  makes me question your motives here.  You seem to be quite adamant about the accreditation issue, yet given this statement I do not believe you are keeping a neutral point of view.  WP:NPOV  69.148.248.232 07:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You don't understand what a secondary source of information is or what I wrote.  This article, at the time that I wrote the comment, didn't have ANY secondary sources of information that demonstrated that it was worthy of inclusion.  A notable topic would be expected to be mentioned by a number a varying secondary sources -- newspapers, magazines, books, etc...  Vivaldi (talk) 21:00, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps you should just leave this article completely alone as it is clear that you have no idea what you are talking about.  You claim that this school fails for notability.  You said, "This school does not list any secondary sources..."  The only logical conclusion to be made from this statement is that you expect the school to come in here and defend itself.  That would be a clear violation of WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV.  76.175.172.143 (talk) 02:31, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notability 

message: This article needs a lot of work.  Greenhill School (Addison, Texas) is a very similar school and perhaps we should model this article after that one.    Here is what appears to be an unbiased source for more information on Wichita Collegiate School:  http://www.petersons.com/pschools/code/instvcprint.asp?inunid=2553&sponsor=1

replies: text: I'm going to go ahead and put a 1 month time frame on this.  In one month I'm going to go through and remove everything that is not cited.  So, if you want it kept in, make sure it has a citation.  Wikipedia already has way too much garbage as it is.  Find a source, or it's gone.

text: Good work so far Mosura.  It's starting to look like we should remove the notability tag.  24.124.109.67 06:44, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I'm about to add a brief notability statement to the text.  Also, please note that the 2 mentions of girls' teams under athletics require no further citation - like everything else in the paragraph they are covered by (current) reference note 20: # ^ KWCH 12, Catch It Kansas, "Wichita Collegiate History" http://www.catchitkansas.com/global/Story.asp?s=6963040  Mothra 20:03, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Sounds great, as long as the two items that are marked "uncited" about the girls' teams remain. As noted above, they're covered by footnote 20 and don't require separate cites each time.Mothra 08:57, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
