I have begun a merger discussion at Talk:Phillips Academy#Merger proposal: Paresky Commons. The merger itself is pretty basic, but as Phillips Academy is a B-class article, my understanding is that I'm required to notify the relevant WikiProjects before executing a merge. I'd be grateful for the views of members of this project. Thanks.

As part of WP:NPP with my focus being science academics, I have come across several pages being created based upon who the students find interesting rather than first checking WP:NPROF. Many of these have been clear fails of the academic criteria (which are different from the general ones).

There are related issues: I draftified one page which an editor resubmitted via AfC and was declined (by someone else). The draft is now abandoned as the course has ended and no students wanted to try and improve it.

How can we inform the class mentors that they need to be careful about notability and not create work for others?

N.B., this may not be the best place for this, but I will start here then shift if there is a better suggestion.

@Ldm1954, if this is referring to student assignments in thepedia Wiki Education Program, I think you're looking for the Wikipedia:Education noticeboard. czar 14:06, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20250106140600","author":"Czar","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Czar-20250106140600-Ldm1954-20250106135800","replies":["c-Ldm1954-20250106141100-Czar-20250106140600"]}}-->

@Czar, I did wonder about that, but also noted this project's Goal #4:

Coordinate with Wikipedia:Education noticeboard and Wikipedia:Student assignments

I will wait for any other comments here before doing a switch; perhaps Goal #4 is inactive.

Sounds good. And yes, I wager #4 should be removed. czar 14:25, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20250106142500","author":"Czar","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Czar-20250106142500-Ldm1954-20250106141100","replies":[]}}-->

Dear friends.

Would you like a really long article about Polish Matura Exam? Or maybe it's not encyclopedic or too hermetic for English Wikipedia?
