[edit] Vilamoura International School

They do not say why they are any more mportant than your average bus stop. 68.148.196.162 02:44, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as a not particularly noteworthy school. Anville 12:42, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Few bus stops teach 600 pupils of 30 nationalities. Dlyons493 Talk 14:04, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Please add such information to the article. The number of students in a school is vital for a school article and for an international school it's very useful to also determine the number of nationalities they teach. - Mgm|^(talk) 15:23, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep to counter systemic bias. People have succeeded in spamming Wikipedia with thousands of substubs about non-notable US schools, so since it's impossible to clean that mess up thanks to block-voting inclusionist extremists, the only alternative is to add articles on global schools, thus giving equal space to equally important topics. — Haeleth Talk 14:28, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Oh, and the deletionists don't organise and block vote without considering content then? They certainly make lots of extremist comments, like comparing schools to bus stops. CalJW 21:51, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Speaking for myself, no. I judge each article on its individual merits, exactly as the inclusionists don't. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 22:46, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • What's 'extremist' about comparing one delivery point for a public service or business to another? --Last Malthusian 17:07, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and tag for cleanup, needs more information. Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 14:32, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

• Change ot abstain following more reading up. I'd vote delete or merge but that is against some people's religion. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 22:43, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep all schools. Hipocrite - «Talk» 15:15, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, if you remove the POV fluff there's nothing useful left to keep. But I'd be happy to see articles on schools outside the US if they contain some information, preferably information which sets it apart from other schools in the country. Post an article request at the WikiProject Schools so a proper article can be created. Articles aren't placeholders. - Mgm|^(talk) 15:18, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep all established schools per Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep. Kappa 18:20, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. Non-NN. :) Turnstep 18:30, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Comparing schools with bus stops is absurd. It is also poor tactics as it makes people more determined to vote against school deletionism. CalJW 21:47, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. While basic education is laudable, it isn't inherently noteworthy. Any other Portugese institution of similar size and importance (club, business, church) would be deleted. I don't see why some people make special exceptions for schools. Durova 22:17, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• delete as per Durova. Pete.Hurd 22:19, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. School. --Centauri 00:08, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
• Question: On the basis of which information in the 'article' do you want to keep this? I'm sure most of you read the article before entering your vote, but saying why you want to keep the article on this particular school is far more productive than just keeping any school on AFD. Please be helpful in ending the debate and share your reasoning for this particular article not school articles at large. -- Mgm|^(talk) 14:13, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. a) This article teaches me about the school in question. b) It also helps me understand schools in Portugal, too, which is a good step towards WP:CSB. c) Just from a policy standpoint, I think schools are way more important than highways. And we keep highways. Jacqui ^{★ 01:19, 14 November 2005 (UTC)}
