[edit] Center School (Connecticut)

Non-notable Kindergarten to 1st grade with no obvious redeeming features. BlueValour 19:05, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep all existing schools are notable; see Wikiproject schools. Where ^(talk) 19:38, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment If you could specifically point out where Wikiproject schools says anything about "all existing schools are notable," I'd appreciate it. As far as I can tell, the only reference there is in the context of suggesting that articles about "notable schools" (which implies that there are nonnotable schools ... otherwise, why the distinction?) should be formatted in a certain way. Unless, of course, you're referring to the rejected proposal having to do with schools, which does address notability but has the unfortunate characteristic of being proposed-but-rejected and thus non-policy. Please advise. -- Docether 20:41, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Who said every school is notable? People throw up a page with one sentence and think they're offering something useful. This is a waste of server space. I think these one sentence wonders should be wiped out. Might motivate people to write an article for a change! george 19:50, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Kindergarten schools are notable? You might as well consider each individual Starbucks location notable. At best, merge it into Brookfield, Connecticut. Ted 20:07, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Exactly! george 20:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. My comments above notwithstanding, this school is nonnotable given the information included in the article. -- Docether 20:41, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete kindergarten is almost inherently non-notable. Opabinia regalis 20:53, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this isn't a school, it's a glorified kindergarden, and neither jouralists nor researchers usually cover spesific kindergardens (nor schools below college level) so you can forget about reliable sources. --Eivind^t@c 00:47, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete. Schools are not inherently notable. WP:SCHOOL "was rejected by the community". Until there is a firm policy, articles on schools should be considered on their own merits. Regarding this specific school, it would have to be an extra-ordinary school for it to be notable. The article itself fails to disclose any reason why this should be kept.

  • I am sick and tired of these false assertions that the rejection of WP:SCHOOL was a victory for the school deletionists. That is a travesty of what actally happened, which was that it was watered down and watered down until it was default keep all and it still wasn't inclusionist enough to obtain consensus.

    • Please don't lump me in with one side or another. I also made no comment as to whether or not anyone achieved a "victory" of any kind. My point remains that until there is a firm policy, each school article ought to be considered on its merits within the broader policies and considerations, and not a blind application of Wikiproject schools or WP:SCHOOL. I will and have commented "keep" where warranted. In this particular case, I did not. Agent 86 19:04, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. Article has been rewritten using reliable sources. Silensor 06:38, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable School Hipocrite - «Talk» 14:50, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and allow for organic growth. The school name dates back to the 18th century and appears to hold a historical importance. Bahn Mi 00:21, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, most schools are notable. Besides, this article is off to at good start already. bbx 06:56, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep all schools are notable in a truely great encyclopedia.  ALKIVAR™ 14:13, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• keep please this is historic information erasing it makes no sense Yuckfoo 00:06, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep There exists a strong precedent to keep school related articles. Verifiable and as Bahn Mi has stated, should be allowed for organic growth.--Auger Martel 11:21, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

• comment This is a kindergarten not a school despite its title!! I wonder if the 'keeps' have looked further than the title? BlueValour 17:05, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete This is not a high school Ydam 08:32, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
