[edit] Crossley Heath Grammar School

too much cruft (from a student) Will ^{(Glaciers melting in the dead of night)} 23:16, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Cruft is not a reason to delete an article. Most secondary schools are inherently notable and this one is a grammar school over a century old. -- Necrothesp 01:20, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup, while this article isn't perfect atm, it seems entirely reasonable that there's lots of verifiable information about this school out there. JYolkowski // talk 15:53, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Holy Cow! -- It does what every other school does, it has also done nothing notable, school cruft, so EXTERMINATE!. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 17:08, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
  • "Notable" isn't something that you do. The word "notable" means, literally, "worthy of note". Since notes are written records, the word "notable" essentially refers to something that is likely to have written records about it (which, since we're writing an encyclopedia here, is a good thing because we need those as sources). Based on what's in the article right now, it seems quite likely that quite a bit has been written about the school over the ages, making it "notable".

• Keep — School meets the proposed WP:SCHOOLS guidelines due to it's age, so it doesn't need to be merged. But the text needs references and some judicious editing and culling. — RJH (talk) 19:16, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
• keep please it meets proposed schools guidelines so no need to merge improve by editing Yuckfoo 04:47, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup I know a lot abut this school, I'll clean it up to the best I can. Also, a user mentioned that it does nothing more than any other school. Well, most other schools have an article on here so why shouldn't this one? 19:16, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect Unsourced, info already exists in Halifax. Catchpole 15:13, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Far exceeds the standards proposed by WP:SCHOOLS, there is already an entire book written about this school, I think we can afford this small article. Silensor 19:58, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
