Hi all,

I created this article because I saw a redlink somewhere in an editing session, looked it up, and then created it, quite possibly without due regard to its notability as an organisation, and also potentially a misuse of my Wikipedia:Autopatrolled privileges.

Should this possibly be (among other options)

• a WP:REDIRECT to CSIRO#History?
• listed as a reliable source (or not) for other articles?
• some other outcome?

I seek your opinions about this.

I think it's a good idea for an article, but needs some more references. All the good ones I could find are behind paywalls, so hopefully someone else jumps in who has access. Jimmyjrg (talk) 16:34, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, @Shirt58, for creating the page. I found some more information in an article by Mike Jones and Alana Piper. Gavan McCarthy has been with the project since the beginning, working with Tim Sherratt on Bright Sparcs. McCarthy welcomes updates and corrections, with references to back them up of course. I consider it a useful and reliable source and use it frequently. Oronsay (talk) 19:40, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are sources online, but I don't know how reliable they are. It's either the best and holiest school down under, or a den of vipers and bullies, depending on the POV. Please source this! Bearian (talk) 21:03, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source what exactly? There is very little that would make this school notable within the article! The namespace also doesn't match the article lead or infobox. Dfadden (talk) 11:51, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The issue with determining notability for this school is that there are other schools with similar or same names. A quick search locates a Valley Harvest Christian School in Dublin (Ireland), another Harvest Christian School (which at some point appears to have changed its name to Frontline Christian School and most of my hits seem to be about this school) in South Africa and other schools with similar names (there's even a Global Harvest Christian School in Oklahoma, USA).

The only secondary source that I'm sure is about the school in South Australia is this.

Given what I could find I'm not sure this meets WP:NSCHOOL. TarnishedPath^talk 12:29, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Melbourne Airport has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Z1720 (talk) 17:30, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Editors are invited to comment at Talk:Mount_Warning#historical_irrelevance and Talk:Corowa#If_the_rally_is_historically_insignificant_why_was_it_all_over_the_news_for_weeks_then? as to whether or not to include the National Socialist Network rallies in those articles. Mitch Ames (talk) 02:05, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but I dont think a lack of "historical relevance" is a sound argument for or against the inclusion of events that otherwise meet the WP:GNG and are readily verifiable because of WP:CRYSTAL. We also need to be careful about WP:NPOV if we arent telling the whole story. See my comments at the Mount Warning talk page discussion. Dfadden (talk) 12:19, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
