Talk:Yarra Valley Grammar

Promotional tone, etc.

@Kudpung: Thank you for cleaning out some of the fluff throughout the article. It appears, however, that quite bit more was added with this edit this edit. I removed content I thought was inappropriate, but please re-add accordingly if I went too far. Also, I am concerned that the tone of the "Co-curriculum" might still be a bit promotional and also a problem because of a lack of sourcing. I am also concerned that we may have a case of WP:C-P or WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE in some arts of the article after looking at the school's website such as the "Digital learning" section and this, but I'm not sure how to go about dealing with that. -- Marchjuly (talk) 14:51, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Marchjuly, you could have cut a lot more. I only stopped because I didn't have time. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:20, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

I tried to trim a little more including moving stuff from the lead to the history section. i've also been looking for some sources and I've found stuff like this, this and this from the Sydney Morning Herald, but they seem more like press releases than articles. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:50, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

I cut out the campus/building directory section. I could support a few sentences (total) about some major buildings that are especially notable or are relevant to those outside of the school. See WP:WPSCH/AG#OS. DMacks (talk) 15:33, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you all for your additional cleaning up. I think the article is now about right. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:30, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

I have removed the "Tone" template since that issued does seem to have been resolved for the most part. Now, it's time to try some better sources. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:05, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Notable alumini

Sections about notable alumni are not intended to be a list of names of everyone who may have attended/graduated from a school, especially from a primary school, for the reasons explained in WP:ALUMNI, WP:ALMAMATER and WP:LISTPEOPLE. The most basic common selection criterion for being included in such lists is that (1) the individual in question has a Wikipedia article already written about him/her, or (2) the individual in question does not yet have a Wikipedia article written about him/her, but is considered to be Wikipedia notable (note that notability has a very specific meaning with respect to Wikipedia that is different from how the term is commonly used in everyday converstation) enough to to have such an article written someday by someone and information about them can be verified by examining independent secondary reliable sources. Simply adding unsourced names to a list is never going to be considered acceptable, which is why multiple editors have been removing this content. If there are specific individuals who someone feels satisfy either (1) or (2) above, please post your reasons (and any supporting sources) below to see if a consensus can be established for their inclusion. Information or claims about living individuals in particular needs to be carefully assessed and well sourced per WP:BLP. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:33, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Possible sources

I've been looking for possible sources to use as citations and I've found some stuff in the Sydney Morning Herald, but I cannot really tell if they were written by the paper's journalists and otherwise fact-checked or if they are advertisements/PR pieces/Wikipedia sourced articles written by someone who might have a connection to the school. Anyway, here's what I've found so far and I would appreciate some feedback on their reliability.

1. Bridging gender gap from the start
2. Looking back, going forward
3. Benefits beyond school's scoreboard
4. Yarra Valley Grammar: Playing to a different tune
5. Foundation Magazine
6. School's Out: Yarra Valley Grammar's Andrew Lawrence
7. Education provider details: Yarra Valley Grammar
8. February 28, 1966 The Age from Melbourne, Victoria - Page 12 (Can't access this since I don't subscribe to their archives)
9. School's $5m loss
10. School lab burns
11. The quality approach
