Please look at neutral point of view again, which says that lack of neutrality is not an adequate reason to delete an article and writing from the perspective of people you disagree with is sometimes necessary. In the case of The Student Voice, just the fact that its existence and publications were so disputed and controversial means that it's played an integral part in the school's history in recent years. As is the case with Bob Jones University's interracial dating controversy, mentioning a controversy adds a lot to a school article and keeps it far from being just like any other school article. Having said all of that, an NPOV template on The Student Voice's article is probably needed, so feel free to put it there (using {{POV}}). Also, regarding the links at the main PCC article, Wikipedia:NPOV tutorial states, "We should then list all points of views, according to their importance, and, if possible, be precise as to who holds them." This includes positive and negative views; Rush Limbaugh's article, for example, has a whole section about several people's criticisms of his talk show, as well as a link to a website that parodies his homepage. Take a look around this site, and you'll find plenty of articles with both "for" and "against" links. Wikipedia:External links#What to link to elaborates further on which links should be included. Happy editing, and feel free to ask me questions if you have any. --Idont Havaname 03:06, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
