Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cambridge Public School, Embrun, Ontario

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was: Keep - Although the delete comments do have some persuasive power there are far more keeps and precedent is on the side of keeping school articles, as long as they meet certain standards, which I judge this one to do, so keep. ++Lar: t/c 20:54, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cambridge Public School (Embrun, Ontario)

Article fails to establish notability, and why it is encyclopedic. Schoolcruft. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Delete --Ardenn 22:50, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, of all public school articles, this one actually contains some information, including the interesting (albeit unverified, for now) stat outlining why only 7% of students eligible to go there actually do. All schools are inherently notable in my opinion. -- Samir (the scope) धर्म 22:54, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep, it's pretty much established that schools receive entries, this should be stubified, but certainly not deleted - pm_shef 22:55, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per other users -- getcrunkjuice^contribs 22:59, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, this is the creator of this article. I personally realized that this article was too short, so I decided to merge it with Embrun, Ontario--FruitsAndVegetables133 23:10, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Note from the author, this is the creator of this article. I originally merged 'Cambridge Public School, Embrun, Ontario' with Embrun, Ontario, but the information was deleted off that article as well.--FruitsAndVegetables133 23:24, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. I have reverted the article back because an article should not be blanked while an AfD is going on, particularly one where the article is likely to finish with a "keep" vote. No vote on my part, though. --Metropolitan90 23:49, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep The nominator has given no legitimate reason to delete this article. This is hardly an "indiscriminate collection of information". One need only read the article, to see that. The overwhelming precedent at Wikipedia:Watch/schoolwatch/Schools for deletion archive is to keep all verifiable real school articles. Valid reasons to delete a school article include: non-verifiability, copyvio, and attacks. But no such reason has been cited. --Rob 02:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. — Rebelguys2 ^talk 04:06, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. as per above Ydam 10:43, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Middle and Elementary schools are not inherently notable, and there is no assertion of either academic excellence or a real claim to fame in the article. - Jjjsixsix ^(t)/_(c) @ 04:46, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• keep please this is important to document Yuckfoo 17:51, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Regardish schools I think articles should generally be kept. // Habj 17:54, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• I know that the idea that all schools merit articles is the Wikicontroversy that wouldn't die, but AFD consensus has generally gone to the keep side of the debate (even if only by no-consensus). Nominator has not presented a convincing reason why this should somehow be considered less notable than the average school. Keep unless you're prepared to actually pitch for an "all schools should be deleted" policy (and good luck to you if you try.) Bearcat 21:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. For consistency. -- DS1953 ^talk 04:52, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
