[Wikipedia-l] school articles : enough

[David Goodman]

Many corporations (and other new editors) enter articles from which it
is impossible to to realize what might make them notable. These pages
are of course deleted. To what extent is it a possible function of WP
to help them write a meaningful article that would a/ conform to our
practices and prejudices
and, b/ say something useful?
Perhaps  templates would be the way--for bios as well, and for
schools, etc. Perhaps we need a "write a new article" interface more
meaningful than the one that presently appears? DGG
