[edit] Pathways World School

Pathways World School (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested PROD. Fails to assert notability (unless you count one of the first schools in Northern India to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program); the school has been in existence since 2003. You don't get an notability from an article, but the other way around. Seems to be a vandalism magnet, littered with unsubstantiated defamatory comments. I don't think we need this headache.

• Strong Delete and protect from re-creation, we do not need a non-notable article that causes vandalism and damages wiki's credibility. Wooyi 03:01, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Edeans 03:46, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless solidly referenced by end The article does appear to lack notability but the fact that it gets lots of vandalism implies that it might be more notable then it appears. Solid secondary source reference would change my vote to keep. (I placed a primary source tag on the article) Jeepday 04:35, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete but salting should be done only after recreation. Xiner (talk, email) 04:47, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Like the nominator, I do not find the claim about the International Bac to be particularly notable. The only other notable thing in the article is the reference to "beer-pong Festivals where students walk about in the kinkiest leather pants and whip each other till they bleed": if this were true it would certainly be notable, but I am highly confident that references to this activity cannot be found from reliable sources.

• Keep, notable as an International Baccalaureate world school, and for being one of the first in India to offer the program. Silensor 20:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

  Northern India and one of the first - one of the first couple of hundred? Josh Parris 01:11, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, I believe all schools carrying the International Baccalaureate program to be sufficiently notable. RFerreira 08:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - Leaving aside for a moment that 90% of the article needs to be junked as trivia or original research, the only assertion of notability is weak. A college having an IB accreditation is not that special. Saying "all schools carrying the International Baccalaureate program to be sufficiently notable" is like saying "all licensed doctors are notable". It's an important accreditation, but it is not so unusual as to be notable. —Dgies^t c 06:58, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep This is the equivalent of an American high school; it is even a particularly large and notable private high school, at that. And it seems to have been - regrettably - established that all American high schools are notable. As a matter of fairness, I think this should be kept. Brianyoumans 08:49, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
  • So because of previous bad decisions to keep non-notable schools, we must keep more of them? Why not try to turn the trend around? —Dgies^t c 16:34, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I agree that this specific accreditation is an indicator of notability. (jarbarf) 17:14, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I have to agree with the statements made previously, additionally, I am sure something can be done about the vandalism that is done to this page. The article of President Bush has a very heavy volume of vandalism, and wikipedia is able to live through it. Sukh17 ^{Talk | Contribs} 19:08, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep It is a high school and thousands of them have been quite correctly kept. Cloachland 03:44, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as not notable — MrDolomite • Talk 18:49, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
