Talk:Zion Bible College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Removing prod
This school is accredited per the article text and has a somewhat interesting history of competing with Brown over a radio frequency with some other religious groups. [1] I think at minimum there is enough notability to require a community discussion prior to deletion. This is why I removed the proposed deletion template. I could see the resolution to this article being a merge into the locality article with a redirect. Erechtheus 03:47, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] My edits
This article was becoming the scene of contention between contributors wanting to say that it is difficult to transfer credits from colleges without regional accreditation and others wanting to say that Zion Bible College students successfully transfer their credits. There were no WP:RS citations to support either position. I think the first point can be supported by citations, although weakly so. The second point was written in weasel words and is unlikely to be supported by WP:RS citations, although it probably is true. I think that neither set of statements is actually needed in the article, and without reliable sources they don't belong. Therefore, I deleted both.
I also edited the article lead and other sections somewhat extensively. --Orlady 03:18, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Another user is determined to say "The money for repairs and upgrades that will need to be done before the shuttered Bradford College campus can reopen will be taken from the sale of the the Barrington Campus," but the cited sources say nothing about selling the current campus in order to get money to renovate the new one. Accordingly, I am reverting the wording about selling the campus. --Orlady (talk) 03:58, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
- The IPuser who is adamant about the above wording says "Paragraph 7 of citation: instead of using money to buy they will renovate with it." Paragraph 7 of http://www.eagletribune.com/punewshh/local_story_260115541 says "The money Zion Bible College anticipated using to buy the school property will instead be earmarked for renovating the shuttered college campus, Fiorentini said." It does not say where Zion expected to get the money; specifically, it does not say that the money Zion anticipated using was going to come from selling its current campus. Your independent knowledge of the situation is not a sufficient basis for an encyclopedia article. Until you provide a source for your information, I will continue reverting it. The statement I am reverting to is consistent with what you are saying; you are merely trying to add more detail. --Orlady (talk) 17:37, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
