Review commentary

This is a 2006 promotion that has taken on some united text, but more importantly, has not been updated. Many of the statements date to five years or more, and some of the statements have no "as of" date. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:51, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

In a cursory look, I found the following:

• Historical dollar figures are explicitly converted to 2005 dollars, which is not very useful in 2015.
• "Plano offers 31 Advanced Placement courses, which is all of the 34 courses possible" - A quick search shows this is no longer true: there are 37 possible, and Plano offers 29.
• "Plano administers more Advanced Placement tests each year than any other school west of the Mississippi River and all but one school in the United States." - Our article Edinburg North High School makes the same claim (verbatim!), and cites the same source. I cannot verify either. On further review, it seems that the Edinburg article was created via copy/paste from Plano, and still (6 years later!) is full of garbage 'facts'—I guess I know what I'm doing next.
• 2007 SAT score averages are somewhat useless given the changes in the scoring rubric. 2014 scores are available.
• There are bare urls and otherwise incomplete citations, as well as 6 deadlinks.

Significant work is needed to bring this up to date and up to current standards. Maralia (talk) 16:31, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

• Move to FARC, no progress. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:02, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

FARC commentary

Issues raised in the review section include referencing and datedness. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:31, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

I e-mailed the original article creator. Will that be like a Bat Signal for him? I hope he springs to the rescue like Superman! WhisperToMe (talk) 20:11, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

• Delist. Unsourced statements; dead links; unencyclopedic and ungrammatical language such as "to this day she serves as principal [with no full stop]". DrKiernan (talk) 09:54, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
• Delist. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:32, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
• Delist per my comments above (only the first has been addressed). Maralia (talk) 23:55, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
• Closing note: This removal candidate has been delisted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please leave the {{featured article review}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:33, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
