Just wanted to bring this discussion to the mailing list, as this is "*the* place for meta-discussions about the nature of Wikipedia." From what I've gathered, a Wikipedia user (possibly just a lurker as their user has not contributed before the 20th), [[User:Pcw]] gave his class an assignment which involved Wikipedia (http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~cs4/S2004/hw/hw6.html). The assignment asks the students, who are non-majors taking a computer science class, to create two new Wikipedia articles. It specifically points them to [[What Wikipedia is not]] and [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view]].
Lots of articles were contributed, and many are now listed on VFD. Probably many others are not. Those listed range from [[Dartmouth Beer Pong]], which seems to be completely unverifiable original research, to [[Winter Carnival]], which although ambiguously named seems like a good example of just what Wikipedia is. [[Newton North High School]] also looks like it's going to survive, since we have a precedent for keeping pages about high schools. Others:
[[Dartmouth dodecaphonics]] [[Dartmouth cords]] [[Dartmouth Rockapellas]] [[Winter Carnival]] [[5 Die]] [[Snell Family Farm]] (maybe) [[Lob pong]] [[Exit 38 climbing area]] (probably) [[Dartmouth Wind Symphony]] [[Chorus of Westerly]] [[The Harlequins]] [[Dartmouth Night]] [[Dartmouth Mountaineering Club]] [[Dartmouth Ski Patrol]] [[Dartmouth Beer Pong]] [[Dartmouth Womens Crew Team]] [[Dartmouth film society]] [[Dartmouth Rockapellas]] [[Chi Gamma Epsilon]] [[Dartmouth College Men's Reserve Team]] [[Dartmouth broadcasting]] [[Native Americans at Dartmouth]] [[Newton North High School]] [[The Hopkins Center at Dartmouth College]]
I may be missing some others.

That seems to sum up the current majority opinion.
