Feasibility

Here is a perfect test case for my own principles regarding article "feasibility." It seems to me that if we can have an article about Kilmer Middle School, we need to be able to have articles about every Middle School in the U.S., and equivalent schools in other English-speaking countries (at least!). And we need to be able to keep all such articles current (so the teacher lists don't go out of date) and otherwise of reasonably high quality.

Will that be possible anytime in the next, say, few years? How is Wikipedia doing in this regard? We can take that as an indication for CZ. --Larry Sanger 01:32, 30 November 2006 (CST)

This article would not survive in this format even in wikipedia. In general, lists such as faculty should be heavily discouraged since they will be outdated so soon and they are mostly unnotable people (in the encyclopedic sense). I think a google search and the school district pages will always be a better resource. I would suggest we only need articles on the most important schools from a historical or novelty factor.

Well, that's what I fear, but I'd like to see some other viewpoitns on this. --Larry Sanger 13:26, 30 November 2006 (CST)

Am I missing something??

I'm sorry, but what is this doing as an article?? It seems silly to have this. What about this school is notable? I think this should be deleted. Kelly Patterson 22:23, 19 April 2007 (CDT)
