Servite
[edit]"Despite Servite's notorious reputation for kicking out legions of students, Francisco did not suffer the shameful indignity of being "asked to leave" or kicked out, unlike some of his other unfortunate comrades, because he did not have any academic problems or significant disciplinary issues while attending Servite. "
I put that in the Ben Francisco article. I could say that I was at Servite and they really did kick out numerous students. Students are there one year and gone the next (without graduating)! Many of the people who were kicked out were my friends and fellow classmates, and Servite treated them like scum!!!! I was there and witnessed it myself!! 66.214.9.51 (talk)
- That's fine, but this information is not worthy of including in an encyclopedic article. First of all, since it is personal information gleaned not from published sources but from experience, it qualifies both as unverifiable and original research, neither of which are included in Wikipedia (remember, it does not matter whether something is true, only if it is verifiable by outside sources.) More importantly, it is trivial biographical material inconsistent with the scope of the article, which focuses on the player's career and most notable personal details only. You may have seen Francisco's performance at Servite first-hand, but unless it relates to his notable biography in another way, which it does not seem to, it is not worthy of inclusion. Please see the manual of style for more on good, verifiable and encyclopedic Wikipedia articles. Colinclarksmith (talk) 19:48, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
- Ben Francisco should be proud that he graduated! It is noteworthy that he didn't get kicked out of that school.
