[edit] Torquay Girls Grammar School Torquay Grammar School for Girls

Article about a non-notable secondary school, and a one-sentence article at that. The page has been expanded significantly, and I withdraw my request for deletion. ekedolphin 09:31, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - I helped out with Ipswich Grammar School (my alma mater) and created Ipswich Girls Grammar School, and I don't see anything wrong with them. So why not Torquay Girls Grammar? - Richardcavell 09:37, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - There is a standing policy that articles about schools should stay. I agree it needs working on. Markb 10:33, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Not to nitpick, but no such policy exists. The closest thing is the rejected Wikipedia:Schools attempts at a guideline. In practice of course it is obvious that 99.99% of all school articles are kept on at least a "no consensus".--Isotope23 20:47, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, all schools are notable, definitely needs expansion and cleanup. --Terence Ong 15:25, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. While I agree that all schools are notable, is it really necessary to have a one line article telling us that the school is located in the town for which it is named? If the article cannot be expanded beyond it's current state then I would lean towards deletion. NoIdeaNick 15:54, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Of course it can be expanded, it is preposterous to suggest otherwise. But not everything that can and should happen will happen in the next few days. Piccadilly 17:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Piccadilly 17:02, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. While a concensus has evolved, that we should keep all schools surely this at the moment is a speedy candidate as a restatement of the title ie Torquay Girls Grammar School is a girls grammar school in Torquay or words to that effect. Surely it could be expanded with some info on the school such as alumni. Capitalistroadster 20:16, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but rename Torquay Grammar School for Girls. Article expanded somewhat. Jcuk 22:36, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Correcting the spelling to avoid a mistake being made. - Richardcavell 04:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per clear precedent for schools. --Rob 23:28, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
