Key West High School Alternative Energy Program

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Program that doesn't have significant coverage in 3rd party sources. Trivial coverage. The only Google News Result ends up to be a 404. No school article to redirect to. User:Heindrekallen seems to be a WP:SPA. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 01:41, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - turbines have not yet been built. The suggestion that the turbines would be named after Stephen Colbert suggests that this is perhaps a hoax. Racepacket (talk) 01:53, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable school project. Warrah (talk) 21:14, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article needs references, but the program is mentioned in an EPA report: http://www.epa.gov/Region4/clean_energy/Biodiesel%20Primer%20Final.pdf (starting on page 11). Being the "first public high school 'green' energy program in the state of Florida" would make it notable. The claim needs a source, of course, but I think that it is reasonable to assume that this might be true. Being created by a WP:SPA is not a reason to delete an article. However, WP:COI might be an issue. The article needs cleanup to remove all WP:OR. « D. Trebbien (talk) 21:49, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm leaning on a slight keep/withdrawal because of that, but it would be nice if we had more than that one source. Also, I was just pointing out the SPA, not using it against the article. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 22:06, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep - Wind turbines are in use at Key West High School. The first one when up Thursday November 12, 2009. I along with about 200 other band, football, soccer, cheerleader, and cross country students were witness to it. It is not a hoax. Since when do local awards not count? And WHEN is it ever non-notable for students to raise wind turbine at their school? Are you guys crazy? Keep this page. I'm certain the page will develop more as time goes on and the situation develops.

The above was written by a WP:SPA User:KWBandConch. Most likely a conflict of interest as well. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 20:29, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And to answer your questions, just saying that you witnessed it doesn't mean anything. I could say that I along with 200 of my bffs witnessed the apocalypse yesterday, but that doesn't mean anything. Local awards don't count on wikipedia per WP:N. And yes, I may be a little psychotic. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 20:32, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Was the part about naming it after Colbert a hoax? Racepacket (talk) 16:16, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
