Clean-up and new entries

I've gone through this article and cleaned up the entries that were external links to schools. This list now complies with WP:LISTORG. New entries should have a either an independent reference or an existing Wikipedia page. Philipnelson99 (talk) 06:03, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

In other words, you've hacked-and-slashed it to where it's no longer a useful information resource, but rather a mere collection of wikilinks (see WP:INDISCRIMINATE). To avoid further damage, why don't you explain what you think constitutes "an independent reference", as it's plainly obvious that you don't intend to seek out sources yourself. Statistical information on public schools in Alaska has been compiled on the territorial, state and federal level for at least a century. The information you removed from the list is easily sourced. I'm not the least bit interested in adding that content if it's going to serve as fodder for tit-for-tat edit warring by someone who's not seriously interested in building the encyclopedia. Do you care to explain yourself or are you going to keep leaning on WP:WHATEVER? Project space contains a (pseudo-)policy to suit every POV. What concerns me is the fact that this edit isn't intended to build this list. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 18:05, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Have you read through WP:STANDALONELIST? It clearly specifies what can and cannot be included in a standalone list. A list of schools would fall into a the WP:LISTORG policy which states:

A company or organization may be included in a list of companies or organizations whether or not it meets the Wikipedia notability requirement, unless a given list specifically requires this. If the company or organization does not have an existing article in Wikipedia, a citation to an independent, reliable source should be provided to establish its membership in the list's group.

I removed only the content that was not independently sourced or did not have a Wikipedia article. If you have a problem with it, just revert it but there is a policy that I was tyring to clean up the page to adhere to. Philipnelson99 (talk) 03:53, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
