[edit] Pobal Scoil Iosa, Malahide
Non-notable school. I put up a "explain significance" tag twice but the author apparently disagrees so I'll just take it here. Some guy 21:28, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Istrancis: Hi, I'm the author of this article, and I note that there seems to be a problem with it. It's my first article, you see, and I'm probably missing a couple of rules etc. Sorry if I've caused you trouble, but I just thought that it'd be nice to have my school on Wikipedia. If you want to delete it, that's no problem, but I'm still not sure what I should do to fix it. I guess it's not really all that significant, as I said I just thought it'd be a nice entry, but if there's any way I can improve it, please let me know.
- Weak keep it almost meets WP:SCHOOL and it could use some sources. It seems to be copyvio from the school's website though. Kotepho 22:33, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: I didn't even know there was a WP: School. However, the page states it is a rejected and inactive policy. Some guy 22:44, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- It was rejected because the opposing camps were irreconcilable, but high school articles are never deleted. Something like 300 in a row have survived their nominations. Hawkestone 00:31, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- Should we just make an article on every secondary school in the world, then? Nothing in the article is notable, nobody outside the immediate region would care about it. Some guy 07:20, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- It was rejected but even in that case it is de facto keep from no consensus. Personally, I think schools are more notable than articles on every train station and bus line that people are doing. I don't really have a problem with having 10 million articles on schools, podunk towns, TV episodes, etc as they aren't really hurting the encyclopedia. Kotepho 11:00, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Istrancis: Listen guys, thanks a lot for your help and all on this, but I think that the best thing to do is to just delete this article, and I'll go through the rules and stuff, get a little more experience and see if there are any articles I can edit, and then maybe I'll come back and post this article again. But for now, sorry for causing you trouble, and thanks again for your help! Bye for now.
- Keep As with all secondary schools. I have explained to Istrancis that it is the nominator who has made a mistake as to Wikipedia practice rather than him.Hawkestone 00:27, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- Keep, nothing really wrong with the article. Stifle (talk) 00:32, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Istrancis: Thanks a lot for checking this out, I really appreciate it!
