User:AutomaticStrikeout/CSD exercise answers

These are my answers to StephenBuxton's CSD Exercises as requested by Ryan Vesey at my RfA. For each article, I answer the following four points:

  1. Assess whether or not the tag is correct. If not, what tag (if any) should have been used.
  2. If the article is to be deleted, what reason for deletion would you give in the deletion summary?
  3. If the article is not to be deleted, what should happen to the article instead?
  4. Explain any other follow-up action(s) that would be appropriate.

Exercise 1 "A tory liar"

1. The tag is correct. "A tory liar" is a misnomer and likely a BLP violation.

2. An appropriate deletion summary would be "Inappropriate redirect title attempting to disparage subject."

3. The article should be deleted, so there is no answer here.

4. In this case, the article creator is already blocked, but it might be a good idea to protect the redirect title from being created again in the future.

Excercise 2 "Deben High School"

1. The tag is not correct. A7 explicitly states that it does not apply to educational institutions. The first thing to do would be to determine if the schools exists. If not, it can be deleted as a hoax (G3). Per WP:NHS, high school articles are generally notable, so an AfD would not likely lead to deletion.

2. If the article is to be deleted as a hoax, a good summary would be "Deleted article about non-existent school."

3. The article would clearly need expansion in many areas, such as notable alumni, history of the school, athletic teams, etc.

4. One follow-up action would be to explain to the CSD tagger that A7 should not have been applied in that instance. Also, the new user should be welcomed and perhaps it would be wise to explain to them that it is better if they properly verify the existence of subjects they write about. If the article was a hoax, the author should be warned.
