Self-published sources

edit

Regarding self-published sources:

  1. Self-published sources are considered reliable as they report on the basic facts about the "self".
  2. A school is usually understood to be notable simply on account that it is a school.
  3. Denominational periodicals should be considered "independent enough" from the school to be "non-self" published sources.
  4. Denominational periodicals usually do not provide critical (negative) information about denominational institutions.

The tag regarding self-published sources ought to be removed unless the above assertions can be adequately dismissed. drs (talk) 04:40, 10 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
