McCallum High School student banned for writing his name in feces

I wouldn't necissarily mind seeing ocasional high school news stories, especially if its about some school shutting down underground papers or student websites, but such straightforward disciplinary actions don't really have a place. I found it funny, assuming that is the authors intent, I suggest taking to a humor wiki like Uncyclepedia's UnNews. Nyarlathotep 22:56, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep deleted - Although there was work being done on it, the article dates back to September - so it's not news anymore. —M ESSED R OCKER (talk) 02:01, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Your objection is not valid, as it was deleted for being abandonded, not for being too old. It would never have been deleted if the people editing it had posted to WN:DR that they were editing it.  BTW, WN:DR is too hidden.
 * AbstainI know wikinews is not a place to write old articles, but wikinews is a place to have an archive of old articles always avalible. (I'm sure that used to be one of the justifications for wikinews, but i can't find it anywhere.) so if it was being worked on for that period of time consitantly, I think it could be deleted or undeleted.

 * ""Undelete"". I don't think it was ever abandoned, the original authors thought it was published, MrM retagged it without depublishing it, so those authors never saw it disapear.  - 172.178.203.23 12:50, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Closing Statement: 1 (2 if you count anon)-2 for undeletion. No consensus to undelete, original DR was valid IMO, so this one stays deleted. --Deprifry|+T+ 19:49, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

A New Jersey Student attempts to hit a billion visitors
According to the website, it's not even had 2000 hits, and only had about 20 hits today. If it was getting a couple of hundred thousand hits per day, then it would be news. As it is, it's just spamvertising. 81.179.197.144 17:37, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Response- According to the website, it's just started it's way, and the statistics page says more than 2,000.

The article says : "aiming" not "recorded"

Tag as not news (or delete, but do something to get it off the front page). I first clicked on the story because I wanted to see what justified it having a spam-ish name (ambiguous use of "hit"), I was then doubly dissappointed when it turned out to be an article about a non-notable event, and the article is written in a spam-ish way. It doesn't tell you what's on the webpage, so wikinews readers are give a curiosity which will lead some to add to the page hits of the linked page. (Of course, I won't click. As a lead actor of Fahrenheit 9/11 said "Fool me once, shame on me.  Fool me once, but I won't be fooled again!") Bill3 21:28, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
