Copied email response[edit]

Hi Jason!

In order for any school article to meet standards for inclusion, we'd need to identify several sources which cover the school in detail, and meet the standard for identifying reliable sources, independent of the subject. These sources don't need to be online, and they certainly don't have to be recent. Let's say you found a published town history of Silver Lake which describes the founding of the school. Let's say an educator at your school once had a periodical article written about them. Perhaps there's an annual activity in which the school participates which has received newspaper coverage in a town outside of Silver Lake (Kenosha, Racine, or Milwaukee). All these could be satisfactory sources which might be used to establish notability. Then connected sources (like the school website or the town paper) could be used to flesh out the page.

I'd make an alternative suggestion, however. There's already an article about Silver Lake, Wisconsin. The village is notable, based on previous common outcomes. However, this article doesn't contain any information about what education facilities exist in the region. Perhaps you could start by locating sources (connected or not) which represent information on the schools in the area. We'd want to be inclusive of schools besides your own.

I'm going to copy this email response on your user talk page on Wikipedia, so Kudpung and others can see what we're discussing, and so I can more easily link to policies guidelines and examples which may help us understand each other.

Keep my email address for private conversation, but let's have this discussion in the more public arena where others wiser than myself may be able to add something. BusterD (talk) 18:36, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Might be useful if you read this page: Wikipedia:Training. Notice there's a section for educators and students, plus a newcomer's section. BusterD (talk) 14:52, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
